I want the chart in this dojo example to be in descending order.   Currently it is in ascending order.  I used the sort on the datasource but it doesn't seem to be reflecting in the chart.   I'm sure i am missing something simple here but any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Scott,

Thank you for providing a runnable sample.

In this case, it seems like you want to sort the categories so you should perform the sorting on the categoryAxis.categories array directly. You can use the dataBound event to ensure all of the data has loaded before you perform the operation.

        dataBound: function(e) {
          var axis = e.sender.options.categoryAxis;
          axis.categories = axis.categories.sort();
        }

Ok, so your answer got me moving in the right direction.   Your example did sort the chart but unfortunately it sorted by month alphabetically (April,February,January,March,May) instead of descending chronologically.  So that got me thinking about using a Julian Date.   So I added the Julian Date to the dataset and set that as the category axis.  I then used the template to display it as a date format.   Here is the dojo that I ended up with.   Dojo Example
