Below is an example chart, all declarative XAML that I am prototyping, can someone tell me a few things...
- Why do the values represented by one of the stack elements float in space instead of stacking onto the other bars in their column?
- How can I get my XValues (which are years) to sort ascending left to righ

Hello Ken,
I am afraid this scenario is not supported by RadChart out of the box. The bars float as there is actually another bar in another series that is taken into account . Unfortunately, in strict mode that bar might be at another position along the X axis, so the problem arises.
Still, there is a simple workaround -- add zero items to the series, so that all the series have items for all X values. Here is an example:
Of course, you may adjust the code to avoid the hard-coded values. In addition, your markup shows multiple items with the same XValue in the same series, which is not supported either.

| { |
| DataPoint p = new DataPoint(i, 0); |
| series.Insert(i - 1975, p); |

Hi There
I have the same issue with data comming from a solution that is built from the aggregates example in the demo. here is the code:
if there are null values in the series the x axis is not sorted. So I added a method based on the post above:
I have added a value of 16000 so that the inserted points can be highlighted. As you can see by the attachment, it does not insert the new datapoints in the correct location.
What could be the cause of this?
Regards
Nick

| SeriesMapping mapping1 = new SeriesMapping(); |
| ChartAggregateFunction aggFunct = (ChartAggregateFunction)Enum.Parse(typeof(ChartAggregateFunction), (this.cmbAggregation.SelectedItem as RadComboBoxItem).Content as string, true); |
| mapping1.ItemMappings.Add(new ItemMapping(_filterColumnName, DataPointMember.YValue, aggFunct)); |
| mapping1.SeriesDefinition = ChartType(); |
| foreach (GroupDescriptor descriptor in RadGridView1.GroupDescriptors) |
| { |
| mapping1.GroupingSettings.GroupDescriptors.Add(new ChartGroupDescriptor(descriptor.Member)); |
| } |
| if (RadGridView1.GroupDescriptors.Count > 1 && (cmbAggregation.SelectedItem as RadComboBoxItem).Content.ToString().ToLower() != "none") |
| { |
| GroupDescriptor lastGroupDescriptor = (GroupDescriptor)RadGridView1.GroupDescriptors[RadGridView1.GroupDescriptors.Count - 1]; |
| mapping1.ItemMappings.Add(new ItemMapping(lastGroupDescriptor.Member, DataPointMember.XCategory)); |
| } |
| RadChart1.SeriesMappings.Add(mapping1); |
| RadChart1.ItemsSource = RadGridView1.ItemsSource; |
if there are null values in the series the x axis is not sorted. So I added a method based on the post above:
| void FixDataSeries(int? min, int? max) |
| { |
| if (min != null && max != null) |
| { |
| foreach (DataSeries series in RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries) |
| { |
| for (int i = (int)min; i < ((int)max + 1); i++) |
| if (!series.Any(item => item.XValue == i)) |
| { |
| DataPoint p = new DataPoint(i, 16000); |
| series.Insert(i - (int)min, p); |
| } |
| } |
| } |
| } |

Hi Nick,
The issue seems to come from the XValue <-> XCategory mismatch. The XValue is numeric i.e. it defines a position along the X axis. That is -- if you have 3 items with XValues 1, 5 and 6 you will have a larger gap between the first and the second item as there are no items for 2, 3 and 4.
On the other hand, when XCategory is used, items are added next to each other and the X axis items are labeled with the corresponding value, so 3 items with XCategory set to 1, 5 and 6 will appear next to each other.
That said, the SeriesMapping has an ItemMapping for XCategory, but later when you fill the data series, I can see you create a datapoint with XValue set, but not XCategory.

Hi Ves
Thanks for your help. I think I understand. I just am not quite sure if I know of the solution.
How would I fix this gived the current scenario?

Hi Nick Wood,
In this case you would need to know all the possible categories (for examples - store them in a list). Then, in the inner loop, check all of them and create DataPoints for the missing categories. The code would be similar to this:
