There really isn't a set timeline. Going back to the comics, Patty, Violet, and Shermy were older than Charlie Brown who was three. Schultz later brought Lucy and Schroeder into the strip whom were babies. He gradually aged up Charlie Brown as well as Lucy and Schroeder, but they were still younger than Charlie Brown. Next, Linus was born into the strip (baby). Schultz aged up the characters again to bring him in. Round about this point, Charlie Brown was the same age as Violet, Patty, and Shermy. Eventually, they all were just aged up to eight years old, minus Rerun and Sally. Sally is six (even though she was born into the strip and Linus was doing the age difference between them wondering if she'd like him when they're adults lol) and rerun will always be stuck at age two or three.

The only character that it's confusing for, imo, is Linus....maybe he's supposed to be seven since Lucy and the others are eight.

Another character that started off younger is Marcie. She was a nameless one-off character. Peppermint Patty was her camp leader, like a camp counselor type. She, and the other kids, referred to her as "sir" because she was in charge and it bugged her. Schultz apparently liked the gag and brought in Marcie, aged her up, and put her in Peppermint Patty's class and made them friends.

So it's like a floating time line.
