Sorting by Start Time w/ Microsoft Gantt Chart

Hi,

I'm using Microsoft's Gantt chart, a custom visual, in my project. I must include a field for start date, and I have a choice of including either end date or duration. If I include end date, I have the option to sort along the x-axis for earliest end date. If I include duration, I can sort by sum of duration.

How can I sort by start time? There is no option for this that I can see. I have attempted to build custom sorting, but have been unable to due to the chart's refusal to accept measures in any field.

Thanks.

Hi @0045321 

 

 The Gantt visual automatically sorts by start date, but gives you the option to sort by end date/duration.

Don't sort the x-axis by any other options and you should be fine.

Hope this helps, please mark as solved if it does.

thanks.

This only allows sorting in ascending order. Any idea how I can include it as a sorting option so I can sort by descending?
