What the sources contain
Every number counts texts in the archive: how many narrations mention a sign, a place or a collection. None of them measures time or says when anything will happen.
Most narrated signs
Sahih and hasan narrations tagged with each sign (automatic tags).
Phases follow the narrations named under each. Inside a phase, signs are listed as the sources list them, which is not always an order of events.
All signs in one list, most-narrated first, by the count of sahih and hasan narrations tagged to each. This is weight of attestation, not an order of events.
Signs grouped by the collection that narrates each one most, books in catalogue order. A sign can appear in several books; here it sits under its strongest-attested one.

Foretold for the early generations
Events the narrations foretold that scholars connect with the first centuries of Islam. No single narration puts them in order.
Mu'adh ibn Jabal's narration gives this order: Jerusalem flourishes, Yathrib is in ruins, the great battle, the conquest of Constantinople, then the Dajjal (Sunan Abi Dawud 4294, graded hasan by al-Albani). Sahih Muslim 2897 places the battle at al-A'maq or Dabiq, then Constantinople, then the Dajjal. Sunan Abi Dawud 4292 puts a truce with the Romans before the battle. The narrations on the Mahdi do not state his place in this order.
Al-Nawwas ibn Sam'an's narration gives this order: the Dajjal, the descent of Isa (AS) east of Damascus, the Dajjal killed at the gate of Lud, Ya'juj and Ma'juj, then a gentle wind that takes the believers' souls (Sahih Muslim 2937).
The sun rising from the west and the Beast come close together, whichever is first (Sahih Muslim 2941). One version of Sahih Muslim 2901 ends its list with a fire that drives people to their gathering. The narrations here do not fix the places of the Smoke or the destruction of the Ka'bah.
