Custom / Manual Sort Order
Is it possible to have a custom sort order on a chart when none of my attributes provides the sort order I want? Or alternatively, I know I could force the custom sort order I want with an alias in a beast mode, but then could I change the bar labels to what they were originally?

Create a duplicate beast mode with the same logic you're using to create the ranges but instead of returning the ranges return a number to sort on (0, 1, 2, 3 etc) then use that new sort beast mode as your sort on your card.

Hi MichelleH, yes, true. I think I explained that badly, apologies, as I don't really have any original field labels to use. Essentially I have code to group costs into ranges, so my Beast Mode includes rows such as:
0-100
100-500
500-1000
1000-10000
The problem is that while they should sort as per above, the 500-1000 is appearing last since they're not being treated as numbers. Any solution here?
