sort order- grouped bar graph

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.

never mind. once I refreshed the page, it is correct.
