    Being able to sort on a measure or calculation, currently it automatically sorts based on one of the axis. Adding the adding the ability to sort based on measure would be great for sales based metrics. Sorting based on highest commission %, or sales conversion or highest profitable product would be highly useful in more areas than I listed

    This would make waterfall charts, and charts in general, more competitive to Tableau

    I can't believe you can't use the value (rank of count) of a measure to sort the data in a bar chart...

    Like, "which category has the highest count"?

    You literally have to rank by the category name (alphabetical!), or write custom dax to rank the counts...

    This is super basic analytical stuff.
