Tooltip Value Showing Twice
Hello,
I'm wondering how to essentially sort a bar chart visualization by the legend. In the visualization below, I am visualizing the number of people belonging to a sub-category of an Audience; there are multiple sub-categories within an Audience Category.
I'd like to sort the bar chart by the Audience Category, and how I'm currently achieving this is moving the Audience Category field into the tooltip option. The issue with this is that the Audience Category shows twice in the tooltip (once for legend and once for having the field included manually in the tooltip). Not including the Audience Category field in the tooltip manually would only give me the options to sort the chart by number of people or by the sub-category (alphabetically). I'm looking for a way to only show this Audience Category once in the tooltip, is this possible?
Hi Anonymous ,
The sorting of the default tooltip is made based on:
- Axis value
- Legend value
- Value
- Tooltip fields (in the order you place them)
You cannot change this behaviour so adding the Audience Category to the tooltip part duplicated the value and does nothing to sorting.
To achieve a custom sorting you need to create a custom tooltip para that way you can sort the values of the tooltip as you need.

Not am aware off. The workaround is to create a tooltip dashboard with a table visual formatted out to resemble exactly the way the tooltip is seen, and that is possible.
