Map legend help

I have created a map from 13 locations. I have 2 problems:

1. The legend lists the item numbers as 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, etc. - how do I get them in numerical order?

2. How do I get the location number to show up within the circle on the map?

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous 

1.

First change the data type of the legend column to "whole number", then it should sort as expected.

If not, please could find some useful solutions here:

2. As tested, i can only show "Location" field information on the map points.

Capture6.JPGWhen you hover over the points, you can see legend information on the tooltips.

Maggie - how do you change the data type?  

Hi @Anonymous 

Click on the column, then select "Modeling"->date type/date format
