Sorting data

Use Sort in the Chart Builder to sort data. Measures can sort ascending or descending. Attributes sort alphabetically or reverse-alphabetically.

Change the way data is sorted

Add the attributes and measures you need to create your chart.

To sort, drag a column and drop it on Sort.

Important!:

  • Make sure you drag from the Chart Builder column to Sort. You can't drag from the Subject Area.
  • Visualizer sorts the measure or category (attribute) according to its default sort criteria.
  • You can change the type of sort to apply. Visualizer provides sort options in the Subject Area.
  • You can add additional columns to Sort.

Tip: When sorting on two measures where one is an expression, the sort on the expression takes precedence. This is because expressions are sorted at mid-tier whereas basic columns are sorted at the database level.
