Twitter Is Bringing Back Its Chronological Order Feature Twitter says it will once again give users the option to view their timelines in reverse chronological order. Up until 2016, reverse chronological order used to be the default format on Twitter's timeline. It then changed its format, which upped popular tweets and tweets from accounts users regularly interact with. In a statement, Twitter said it had heard "feedback" from users who preferred the unfiltered, chronological model. Twitter Support, via statement Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said the change would not show "in case you missed it" or liked tweets from accounts users follow.
