Stacked Chart - custom order

don_data — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 20:45:44 GMT

Using SAS Visual Analytics 8.2 on Viya

I have a stacked bar chart that can be arranged in either ascending or descending order as shown below:

I, however, am in need on using a stacked chart with a fixed order. Such that for any given year, the stacked Chart will always display the stacked order in the same sequence (bottom to top) Cat-4, Cat-5, Cat-6, Cat-7, Cat-8

Is there any way of doing this?

Doesn't it works if you sort the categories?

Try right-click on the category label and select sort...

Unfortunately, 8.2 does not have the functionality to sort by category on the axis labels.

Custom sort is what we use in VA 7.4, and I believe this is also available in 8.2.
