timeline class and function
this is a class extend that generates a timeline based on structured data and order's the items by year decending.
this code will not work out of the box as it has other requirements, but it is a good example or starting point for a similar function to generate a timeline
also it had a requirement where the colours had to change per row so i added another array of the required colours and assigned each colour to the css that is generated as part of this function.
