RE: sort based on legends

Totally agree about sort by value. Small multiples already has that feature, why not legend?

RE: sort based on legends

Legend categories, within the tooltip while hovering a graph, should be in the order they appear in the graph. The graph displays them based off their values, which ultimately sorts them in the graph (highest up top and lowest down low). The legend tooltip should do the same.

Need to be able to Sort by Value IE: Count or Sum Descending for both Tooltips and Legends

RE: sort based on legends

would like to be able to sort based onvalues in the legend in asc/desc order as otherwise they are in entirely the wrong order and the colours aren't always clear. It would also be helpful to have the option to only display the value for a single line in a line chart, rather than all of them

RE: sort based on legends

Should be able to sort values in the legend in asc/desc order. This differs from the title to this suggestion, but I assume it's intending to say the same thing
