Sorting on a Slicer

[ngelotte]

Allow you to sort slicers alphabetically ascending or descending - currently their are no sorting options. Also, sorting based on another field in the same table would be really handy.

Agree that we need the ability to sort on another field in the dataset that is not the field displayed. Multiple use-cases for this: month names being the most glaring / obvious one.

Possible idea: combine or bind slicer into the table view. Table view already has sort and filtering. You might then be able to add a hidden helper column to get custom sorted slicer. Could build a slicer that only presents the top items that could be toggled off in order to better show others, e.g. toggle off USA to see non-USA data on a map better.

This doesn't seem 'completed' if I can't add a second value to specify the ordering of a sort on besides alphabetical. This seems like a common scenario mentioned below. We have a product list which we want to order by release date to slice on, but there's no way to do that currently.

Most of my slicers all have a number prefix because I have to create a sort column for each one. We need either the option to sort manually within the slicers format options, or if that's not possible then at least sort using another column, which would at least get rid of the number prefix

I agree Dan's comment, at least get rid of the number prefix. it so useless.
