When the program reads the instructions, it places time intervals on the Timeline one by one, in order of their appearance in the list of instructions. It happens very quickly so it seems as though all the time intervals appear on the Timeline at the same moment. But in reality there is a process that looks like upside down Tetris, where each time interval tries to end up as high as possible. | When the program reads the instructions, it places time intervals on the Timeline one by one, in order of their appearance in the list of instructions.

Then when it was time to place ''Time interval 3'' on the timeline, the place in the highest level was occupied by ''Time interval 2'', so the third interval had to go lower. | ||
To fix it, you simply change the order of time intervals in the instructions, placing ''Time interval 3'' before ''Time interval 2''. | To fix it, you simply change the order of time intervals in the instructions, placing ''Time interval 3'' before ''Time interval 2''. |
