I think I’ve tried everything here, however I can’t get my data to sort from an ascending value, instead of descending.  
IE I want the newest data in the table first, not vice versa.  
I’d love some insight on this, thanks in advance.

How are you getting the data into the table? If it is a query binding you can add an ORDER BY timestamp ASC to the end of it.

Well, newest data first would be ORDER BY t\_stamp DESC, not ascending.
