Hi all, Question about the flame graphs in the SigNoz span UI. When I'm looking at this for my data, the spans on the x-axis appear to be arranged in chronological order rather than alphabetically by function name (or perhaps span name) that I would expect with a flame graph. Essentially, spans with the same name at the same place in the hierarchy are not being sorted or merged. I'm not sure whether this isn't really a flame graph (although it links to the familiar definition by Brendan Gregg), or whether my span names/attributes are wrong and if I fixed them the flame graph would behave as I'm familiar with? May be I'm missing a setting or looking at the wrong place! Any thoughts very welcome. Thanks gratitude thank you
Further to this, I've found the diagram at https://signoz.io/blog/flamegraphs/#what-are-flamegraphs-in-distributed-tracing that does indeed indicate that the x-axis is expected to be time. As noted at https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html#Variations this is a flame chart rather than a flame graph. Do flame graphs exist somewhere in SigNoz or is this a documentation bug?

Also - let me know if this is the wrong place to get support / if I'd be better off creating a ticket for this on GitHub.
Given the lack of response here I've raised this as an issue on GitHub at https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/issues/5476
