I have read through quite a few of posts on this subject but none seem to solve my issue. I have the below table and have created Graph 1 using COUNT([Status]). However, I would like Overdue to be the first the bar rather than error. Therefore I created individual measures to count each category status i.e. CALCULATE(COUNT([Status]),filter([Status]="Pending")) which is shown in Graph 2. My issue is I want to sort the x-axis by the total count i.e. James, Daniel then Charlie (from Graph 1) but the bars sorted Overdue, Pending then Error (from Graph 2). Is there a work around without adding spaces to the the fields Overdue, Pendign and Error?
| Name | Report Number | Status |
| Daniel | 1 | Overdue |
| Daniel | 2 | Overdue |
| Daniel | 3 | Pending |
| Charlie | 1 | Error |
| Charlie | 2 | Pending |
| James | 1 | Overdue |
| James | 2 | Pending |
| James | 3 | Pending |
| James | 4 | Pending |
Thanks,
Jack

Hi,
it is correct to create single measures with the Status for the order in the legend .
To sort the bars by the total count you can drag the Status to the Tooltips area (use the Count in the drop-down menu of the field) and sort by it.
