Hi ,  
I have filebeat-logstash-ES-kibana setup for index abc\* for one of the application log.  
In log file we have many occurrences of identical timestamp for messages/logs. sample log file below.  
when we are searching in Kibana its not appearing in the same sequence that in log file.

in log file residing in host  
2022-11-02 10:08:35 : line1  
2022-11-02 10:08:35 : line2  
2022-11-02 10:08:35 : line3  
but in Kibana it appears randomly  
For example :

Kibana:  
2022-11-02 10:08:35 : line2  
2022-11-02 10:08:35 : line1  
2022-11-02 10:08:35 : line3

Is there a way in logstash or filebeat level to do something so that it will appear same sequence as in log file.

Thanks,  
Bikash
