Sorting problem

I have a sorting problem and I do not know how to solve.

 

In my report, there are two visuals, one is data table visual, and the other is Gantt chart.  they use same data source like below.

 

Task NameWork hours
task 120
task 218
task 330

 

When I click Task Name column header in table visual to sort by Task name, I expect the Gantt chart can sort at same time,  but I don't know how to implement this, anyone?

Hey @TheodoreShi ,

 

unfortunately, sorting happens just inside the visual, this means that the sorting in visual A can not be used in visual B.

 

Regards,

Tom

@TheodoreShi - @TomMartens is correct. However, you *might* be able to get there using bookmarks.

Just making sure i understand you correctly, you want the Gant chart to be sorted by pressing the [Task Name] column in the data table visual?
