Hello.

What is the easiest way to achieve the following:
I've got a data-bound chart and a property Value of type String. In some cases this string is a numeric value. How can I switch the sort algorithm so that I get 1, 5, 12 and not 1, 12, 5, ... I am using SortDescriptors but unfortunately there is nothing like a SortAsInteger property :) But as this is a very common scenario I hope that it is supported out of the box.

Thanks a lot and have a good day,
Tim.

Hi,

No, such a behavior is not supported out-of-the-box.

The easiest way to achieve this is to create a new property in your underlying object that parses the string to an int and use that new property for your XCategory(or XValue).

Ok. Thanks for your answer. I thought there would be a "cleaner" way to do it...
All the best and thanks again,
