sorting legend based on two criteria
I have a simple dataset that contains each supplier's sale in each year. I made a bar chart with years in the x axis and suppliers' sale on the y axis and used supplier company as legend.
I want to sort the legend (suppliers) in each bar (year) based on the total sales of that supplier in that specific year.
I can sort them by all-time total sales of suppliers, but I dont know how to do this sorting in each year.

Try Ribbon chart, and set transparency on connectors....
mojganmeibodi19 I think josef78 's proposal is the best answer.
Vega and Vega-Lite don't have sorting capabilities for more than one field using standard language constructs, but you can use transforms and window functions to create fields that dictate a sort order that you can then sort by.
Could you layer the individual columns as separate marks with their own sort order? Or would you have to know the number of columns/marks beforehand?
