Chart Sorting

You can apply sorting to bar charts, stacked bar charts, line charts, area charts, stacked area charts, and combo charts. Sorting options may vary depending on the type of chart that is being sorted. Sorting options are available under Chart Sorting in the Configuration pane in the Report Editor.

Multiple Metrics

Stacked Bar and Stacked Area Charts

Sorting can also be applied to stacked bar and stacked area charts when the stack is a result of a multi-metric series.

  In these cases, you can sort by the total value of all metrics within the series or by the magnitude of one of the metrics in the series.
