Drawing separate lines from points with the same ID number

Hello,

I have CSV file with ship track points that I import to Arcgis Pro. I would like to make points to lines, based on ID-number. But these polylines must be separated by ID number, not connected.

For example, in CSV file I have

ID;Time;Speed;Latitude;Longitude

E1; 2024.1.1 15:00; 3.3; 58.313254623; 23.654234

E1; 2024.1.1 17:00; 3.3; 58.32456245; 23.65324324

E33; 2024.1.1 11:00; 3.3; 58.353453; 23.6534534

E1; 2024.1.1 12:00; 3.3; 58.5345345; 23.6523454234

E33; 2024.1.1 19:00; 3.3; 58.3324243; 23.65234

How do I draw separate polylines that connect same ID points sorted by Time.
So far I have managed to draw the polylines but the polyline is connected. For example after ID="E1" last value the polylines connects to new ID (for example ID="2"). So the ship tracks crosses land, because different ID ships are located in different harbours. But I would like the polylines to be separated.

For example, if one ship travels from one harbour to another. Then the polylines is also from one harbour to another.

would be an option

Thank you! I put Line Grouping Field = ID, Sort Field = Time, but still I get ship tracks (polylines) over land...

an image of what you are referring to would help, as well as a list of the points that make up the sequence might help
