'Locking' order of categories in graph

Hi all,

 

In my report I have several graphs. I've included a sidebar with filter options as well. When selecting different options in the filters, the graphs change accordingly. However, answer categories move along the x-/y-axis as well (ascending/descending order).

Does anyone know if it's possible to 'lock' the answer categories so as they stay in the default status?

 

Thanks!

Hey,

 

not sure if this idea will meet you requirement:

 

Order the answer categories to your liking:

Make sure the option "Show items with no data" is activated.
