ECharts "Stacked Area Chart" does not work for not-synced time series data.

Steps to reproduce

In the example just run the code a few times and see all the different ways the line's end up intersecting or being disconnected for each other. The line's are not 'stacked'.

This issue can lead to much larger problems in our data set where the difference produce results like

If we pad the series with leading zero's so all of them share the same start date it looks more reasonable, but now we have a line rendered on top of every series with 0, which is not ideal.

It can be recreated by doing the following in any chart.

Create a graph with time type x axis and y value type axis

Add 2 series with time series data that have some dates which overlap, and some dates that do not.

Make the series stacked with 'stack:' and 'areaStyle:{}"

What is expected?

The line series' which are in the same stack group (when areaStyle:{} is used) should always connect with other lines at common x values with no intersection of their areas.

What is actually happening?

Line series' area can intersect with other line series' area under the same stack group.

Please let me know if this is something that cannot or will likely not be fixed.

A minimum reproducible demo should contain as little data and components as possible but can still illustrate your problem. This is the best way for us to reproduce it and solve the problem faster.

You may also check out the API and chart option to get the answer.

Interestingly switching to "Category" and providing a "day" is a potential workaround to this issue.

const days = new Array<string>(36525);
let currDate = new Date(2020,1,1,)
for(let i = 0; i < 36525; i++){

    days[i] = [currDate.getFullYear(), currDate.getMonth() + 1, currDate.getDate()].join('/');
    currDate.setDate(currDate.getDate() + 1);
}

xAxis: { type: 'category', data : days, silent: false, },

--- edit ----- However I am noticing a ~15-25% decrease in performance after doing this.
