sort order- grouped bar graph

Sambo_Servicer

Sorting the order of a grouped bar graph.

 

My data is looking at 4 categories (start/new/completed/ending) month over month.

 

I have a grouped bar chart showing the values for each category for each month. 

The categories (start/new/completed/ending) are sorted numerically (start/end/completed/new) or I can set it to do it alphabetically (completed/ending/new/start).

 

How do I sort it so it's logical <start/new/completed/ending>?

You could try a Beast Mode caluclation that defines the sort order logic. Something like: 

 

CASE

  When `categories` = 'start' then 1

  When `categories` = 'new' then 2

  When `categories` = 'completed' then 3

  When `categories` = 'ending' then 4

END

 

Try adding this Beast Mode to sorting and sort accordingly . 

 

Hope this helps!

@Sambo_Servicer, did PEAKS_valleys' reply help you out?

I have a similar problem.  It didn't help me.  I even went further upstream, and included the case statement in my query instead and it still is not sorting correctly.
