Multi level sort - not saving

Hi,

 

I have some quirky behaviour on my reports which I assume is user error on my part.

 

I have some graphs which are backed with some multi level sort in their respective table view. The mutli level sort works fine as expected.

 

However, whenever I alter the multi-level sort and change the table back into a graph etc, the mutli-level is reverted back. Its almost as if my changes to mutli-level do not save.

 

I have a workaround where I can just recreate the table/graph but then I have to do all the formatting again.

 

What am I doing wrong here?

 

Cheers,

Scott

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You need to customize the sort before you create the visual.
