Implementing data sorting

[callum]

Hi,

In the built-in visuals one can click the three dots and then sort by a column. I assume there's some kind of standard way to implement this feature in a visual, rather than doing it all from scratch? If nothing else, it would be good to know how to even just modify the menu that appears when the three dots are clicked.

Thanks.

You can define this sorting behavior in the capabilities.json.

Please take a look aat the documentation: https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals/blob/master/Capabilities/Sorting.md

Thank you... I don't how I missed this. I must've looked at the capabilities documentation nearly a dozen times!
