Waterfall in July 2017 update is cool. But it is looking really weird when the breakdown dimension is a period (ie. months that have a natural order). It would be great if the chart could be sorted by Breakdown dimension. On the example of months, we will be able to see the variation between 2 years by month in the right natural order (Jan, Feb, Mar, ...) instead of by value variation that is dificult to interprete

Please implement this feature, it is extremely important for intuitive understanding of the charts

RE: Sort by breakdown in Waterfall

I can't understant why sorting waterfall by breakdown is not possible "by design". Can you explain "by design" ? It's possible in excel !!We need this feature.

Need this feature sooon. Bridge categories are sorted based on their value. The bridge category value should NOT change it's position based on its value.

This is really needed. Makes waterfalls almost useless without this feature to sort freely

RE: Sort by breakdown in Waterfall

That's weird. offering a buggy version of chart and forcing users to use it in wrong way.
