Hi,
We are using the new PIE Graph (polar), and we are wondering if there is a property that helps control the sort order of the Legend items?
If you see the attached image you can see how they aren't sorted by Name of the item, but are actually sorted by the values they hold behind them. I can see how that might be the default because you want to a PIE graph to be ordered by low to high, but we want the legend to be alpha sorted. The other hope with this is we can control which color is tied to which item for constancy of reporting.
In the old Charts you would have to build the Legend manually to get this, but is there some other way to do this with Graphs?
Thank you

Hello Brick,
As explained in the Formatting Graph Legend help article, items are ordered in the legend according to the order that they are processed by the processing engine. You can change the order by changing the Graph.SeriesGroups Sortings Expression or Direction.

Thank you for the reply.
Looks like the SeriesGroups sorting did change the legend order , but this also changed the order on the Pie graph. Our goal is to have the Pie chart ordered by value of the data points, and the legend order by name. Possible?

Hello Brick,
The series group order determines the legend items order and currently it is not possible to sort them separately.

Thank you for the follow up.
This is not an important feature that is needed. It was just mainly a curious question if it was possible as we present the final design to management and trying to anticipate their requests.
Back to coding.
