Sort by axis values

Hi all,

 

Just wanted to check if there is a way to sort by y-axes for the following stacked bar chart visual. I tried sorting on the "Sort by Project Duration"

but I am not able to get the below desired result, which is to get the project duration risks in the order of  severity?

 

High Risk                       11

Moderate Risk                9

Minimal Risk                  18

Empty Risk                     1

 

Thank you for your time.

@ek2112,

 

There's a variety of ways to accomplish this, but one option is creating an index for severity (either 4/high risk or 1/high risk). Once that's complete, use Modeling > Sort by Column to order the risk field by index.

Once you've done that, what you tried in your picture will be successful.

@ek2112,

 

Yep, I just created an index column in the fabricated table. There's other options depending on the complexity of your data, but it looks like this should work for what you need.

@RMDNA this looks great. Is creating Index same as creating an index column? Could you please elaborate. Thank you.
