      Description

      Moodle 3.6's Timeline's ALL filter looks ahead without limit. Because there is no display of the year, tasks due in multiple consecutive years, although ordered correctly, appear as they were not, e.g. a March task may appear AFTER a May task etc. (if the latter is set for a later year). This is because the YEAR is never displayed in the Timeline dates.
      I suggest displaying the year in the case of ALL filter's results, if not entirely for all Timeline filters (cf.: when we access a task such as an assignment, we can read its full and not abbreviated "Due date" in the Submission status section).

      (I think this issue only affects the M36dev line, and not M35, where Course overview timeline seems restricted to the current year's future dates only.)
