Hi,
I have read a few posts on this site and also other sites about the inability to custom sort the Breakdown of a Waterfall chart.
I have tried sorting the Breakdown by custom sorting the value set table. (Sort by column option) It does not work. It always shows breakdown in descending order by values, never by value set.
Is there any method to sort the Breakdown of a waterfall chart? Or is this feature in development?
Thanks.
Imre

Hi @ImreP ,
Sorting by breakdown in Waterfall chart is not supported by design.

Unfortunately, the sorting of breakdowns is not directly available in the current context. However, you can create a chart with Python using Plotly, which allows you to sort the breakdown data as desired.
Please let me know if you need assistance with the code implementation or any further details.

I think there are very valid reasons to sort by breakdown.
I created the idea at https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=a950946a-b7ca-ee11-92bd-000d3ad9d8ca please vote and add your comments there.
