Order data in graphs

Is there a way of ordering the data in a graph directly from a graph so that it shows the most frequently occurring category - least frequently occurring category? So with a column chart you would have the longest column at one end and the shortest at the other.
Or does this have to be done by filtering the data directly itself?

RE: Order data in graphs

Hi Sophie

Unfortunately, you need to sort the data from the area that the graph is drawing from, however, if your data grows you will need to re-sort it to take into account the new information

Hope this helps

Kind regards
