If a value has changed then it will be displayed as <OLD_VALUE> -> <NEW_VALUE>.

If you encounter wrong orders of history entries, ie <NEW_VALUE> -> <OLD_VALUE>, then you have to remove the delta cache files var/check_mk/inventory_delta_cache/<HOST>/<OLD_TIMESTAMP>_<NEW_TIMESTAMP>.

You can look up the timestamps below Display > Modify display options > Time stamp format: Unix Timestamp (Epoch) and delete the related files.
