Re-order categories in Serial Charts

[GeeFernando]

I'd love for Ops Dashboard to have the ability to re-order categories in Serial Charts?

Currently, we're able to sort categories. But, unable to categorise them manually.

Thanks,

Gee

A method to sort manually is needed. How silly is this:

I would also like to see this implemented...

@patrickb  This has been "Under Consideration" for over 2 and a half years!!!   Any update on this?  Users desperately need this basic functionality.

Adding to the requests for implementation. In a chart using Grouped Features, sorting by descending count is extremely common.

It looks like this has gone into a black hole.  I hope no one's holding their breath.

How is this request 4 years old and only "Under Consideration"? It seems like such a basic request. My current use case that brought me to this request is a 133 question long survey, where half of the questions are Likert scale type questions. So without going in and manually changing the data formatting of 60 different questions, I have 60 charts with the same dumb looking layout of answers.

This is an issue with charts across all ArcGIS products really. I debated trying to build the results dashboard for this survey in Experience Builder, thinking "oh this is the newest product, I might be able to manually order things there." Nope.

Let's hope this is still being looked at as a possibility, seems such a easy win for ESRI. Sorting based on a field/alphabetically doesn't always work - as most of the examples on this post show. I'm in a similar boat and would love to be able to custom sort the categories!

I can't imagine why anyone would need this functionality.  Everyone is just being ridiculous, charts that are not logical and generally confusing to your audience, are the wave of the future.

Just keeping this request alive. It’s now 23-06-2025, and this was originally submitted back on 10-06-2019 — with 98 upvotes — and the status is still 'Under Consideration'.

We can't effectively use the charts as they are, since there's no way to sort the data in a logical order. We're using string values for twelve categories that don’t follow alphabetical order.

Trying to prefix them with numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3...) only works up to 10, after which the sorting becomes 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, etc., which defeats the purpose.

Gave it another thumbs up. Can't believe this isn't an option
