Sort Chart Data in Dashboards (Ascending or Descending or Alphanumeric Order)

mariahneu

Please add a feature that lets you sort your chart data in ascending order (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4), descending order (e.g., 4, 3, 2, 1) or alphanumeric order (e.g., 1, 2, 3, a, b, c).

has this been worked on? I cant even use a manual sheet to sort the underlying data, I have to reconfigure the chart each time the data rows move.

Seems like an essential feature that was worked on in 2021, but the thread was never updated as completed: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/83503/column-order-in-charts

You can somewhat address this with reports - setup a report that sorts your data and then chart the report instead of the sheet. But it doesn't work if you're grouping the data and using the Summary function in reports...then you just get alphabetical sorting only.

Difficult to believe we still can't order a chart from high to low or low to high.
