When you select the ‘Block Display’ option, the log data will be displayed on the object only after the manual object refresh, such as Xpanel reboot. The latest data before the object refresh will be displayed.

- To change the display order on the Xpanel, go to Xpanel Config window → Log Configuration and set the ‘Log Data Sort Type’ as ‘Time Ascending Sort’.

- ‘Block Display’ does not support object auto-refreshing. To display the block data, update the object by Xpanel reboot.
