Sorting
The Sorting tab in the chart configuration panel allows you to adjust the order in which data items are displayed in the chart. By default, all dimensions are sorted by Label in ascending order.
In the application, two dimensions are available for sorting: Dimension 1 and Dimension 2.
Each dimension can be independently configured to refine the data presentation further.
Sorting Options:
- To change the sorting order for a dimension:
- Click the drop-down menu next to the respective dimension.
- By Label: Alphabetical order (ascending/descending)
- By Value: Numerical or value-based order (ascending/descending). Available for single-dimension charts and as a special option for two-dimension bar charts.
- Custom: Manually reorder the data.
Note: For charts with a single dimension, By Value sorting is available. For bar charts with two or more dimensions, there is an additional Sort By Value option that allows you to sort by a specific dimension value. Date fields with certain group-by types may have limited sorting options (e.g., date fields with standard group-by may only support label sorting).
Custom Sorting:
When selecting Custom Sorting, all available data items within the chosen dimension are displayed in a list. You can rearrange the items by dragging and dropping them into the desired order. This manual adjustment provides flexibility to align the chartβs presentation with specific business or reporting requirements.
The sorting configuration directly impacts both the tabular and visual representation of the data, allowing you to tailor the report according to your preferences.
