The sort feature is not available on line graphs, therefore visualising date charts is almost impossible the data is only displayed in volume descending order. I've had a customer turn away purely because they prefer line charts to bar charts...

We're working on this one! We're aware of it and really see it as a bug rather than a new feature. Please stay tuned and you'll see it in a future release. Thanks!

Hi, will these feature will also include sorting out Day of the Week by date? at the moment the December 2016 update allows to see the date and the week day for the line graphs. But it doesn't allowed to sort the days name by dates.

Over a year later, still no solution?

It would also be helpful to have sort capability in the waterfall chart. We use this a lot in YOY reports but always bucket the smallest dimensions (usually 25%) into one bucket and would prefer for that to come last not tucked in the middle of the chart alphabetically

If a chart uses the character month format, will this be in month value order, i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar etc.

Any update on this, as crazy as it may seem I want to have a line chart that is ordered by date

Any timeline on this? Kind of crazy not to be able to do this.

Good to know. Thanks for update... If you could push it along as it would save lots of issues in our demos!
