Sankey diagram node

Is there a way to lock the position of nodes in a Sankey Diagram once they've been moved? Everytime I manipulate the data to fix a label, create a new connection, the nodes move into a random(?) order. I'm not sure how that's determined by the program.

  • Hi goalie_ ,

     

    You can sort these nodes by [Index] column.

     

    First create the index column in Power Query.
    1. Group by Destination column.

     

     

    2. Add Index column.

     

    3. Expand all columns.

     

     

    Then select the [Destination] column and sort by [Index] column.

     

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

    Hi may I know if there is a function that we can sort the sankey chart node based on the value in Descending order?
