Showing data point as a table - custom order

Hi,

 

my users keep asking me about a custom order when it comes to "showing data point as a table" function. As far as I know, it's not possible to change the order and keep it.

 

Can you please help me out?

 

Thank you

 

Jan

Hi @Jan_Grund,

 

The data point table is sorted according to the data sorting rules of the selected visual.

You can sort the selected visuals and the data point table will follow the rules to sort.

I do know this - this is not what I asked about. I asked about a custom order of columns when I open a single chart column, literally hit the button "Show data as a table" ... to see what's the column made of. This column order I'd like to change.
