Thanks for you input, but we have a set key that consists of name:timestamp

Then you'll need to denormalize and store every row three ways: timestamp,
inverted timestamp, and normal, if you want to be able to access them in all
three ways using OPP.
I would recommend not using OPP and just using timeline rows. Here's a
