sort groups in the visual Sunburst v2.2.3

Dear All,
Recently I´ve generated a multiple donut pie chart (2 donuts) with the visual Sunburst v2.2.3. The visual Sunburst v2.2.3 is absolutely fantastic and it fits nearly all my needs.

 

Sunburst v2.2.3 sorts the groups within the donuts automatically by group size. Is there any way to sort the groups within the donuts by another logic than group size?

 

Let me shortly explain why it would great not to sort by group size:
In the first donut the 4 groups "A, B, C, D" are shown. In the second donut the 5 Parameters "V, W, X, Y, Z" are shown. If the parameters in the second dount are sorted by size, you will most likely see many different color patterns (V, W, X, Y, Z sorted by size) in the second donut. As a result the visual will look much more busy. For simplicity it would be better to sort the parameters logically by colors (even if the group switches). This could mean that you end in group A with the parameter V and start in group B with the parameter V. This approach would reduce the number of color switches in the second donut. Therefore, this approach would reduce the overall complexity of the figure.

 

Do you have any idea how I can sort the parameters in the second donut by color?

 

Best, 

Felix
