Ability to change the order of items in x-axis of custom charts within Dashboards

[LEGGO]

The new enhancements to Dashboards are phenomenal! However, because I am often plotting more information than the x-axis will support (even with the ability to filter out empty Sections) the higher count/value data isn’t always shown because the items in the x-axis are listed in the order they are defined within the project. I would love the ability to choose whether to also show these items in ascending or descending order, in addition to their default order.

I still do not see this feature. Is it possible to sort X axis at all?

Hi @anon47355572 , welcome to the forum
No, unfortunately you cannot sort the X values by ascending/descending. But you can check out this workaround I have previously suggested, which may help in the meantime:

How do I remove the 'Other' field from my reporting / dashboard / chart?

@Andrew_Cooper1 , good question! The donut graphs always display from highest to lowest which is not always useful, especially when you want your values to display consistently, say a 1-5 star rating for example. And no, you cannot currently reverse this order (at the time of writing). But with ‘Column’ style charts, they will display the bars in the order of your custom field’s options. This may be a good thing because you can completely control the order of how your bars will be displayed by…

Would love the ability to sort the order of items on the X-axis. When we have a custom field on the X axis with over 200 items sorted alphabetically, it makes it impossible to visualize a descending order of tasks per item that would be useful as a tangible insight.
