Helper IISort stacked bar chart by Y axis (date ascending)
Hi JNelson
You can download Akvelon bar chart from the marketplace place it has a desired sort option :From an effective data visualization standpoint, this chart should be a column graph rather than a bar graph.
This is because most of our brains are accustomed to perceiving the timeline as a horizontal axis.
Bar graphs are typically used for ranking, where there is a list of entities without a logical connection that are ranked by size.
Column graphs, on the other hand, are used to represent a series of trends over time or another logical axis.
I recommend changing the orientation of the graph to better represent the data.
Anyway the pbix with a sorted graph that you asked is attached

Helper IIThank you, I will try this.
I've been requested to show it in a bar chart to notify the operations which days have too much allocated to them.
Thanks for your help

Yep, users often know what they want, but that doesn't necessarily mean they also know what they need.
In such cases, I usually present both options and ask an informative question in 95% of cases.
From this, the user can usually grasp which graph format is easier for them to read.
Unfortunately, we are all too accustomed to inaccurate and ineffective visualizations.
Good luck in any case!
