The problem here is that you want to nest individual within start time. That can only work if both columns (time and individual) are categorical. Categorical axes have to have each unique value represented.

 

Perhaps you can tell us more about the kind of data you have and the relationship you're hoping to visualize or explore and we can suggest some alternative options that may give you the insight you're looking for.

 

I'm attaching a sample data table I mocked up to explore this. Note that both columns have the Ordinal modeling type to indicate that they are categorical. You can change either of them to Continuous to see how the axis behaves.
