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.
Solved! Go to Solution.

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