How to position a single categorical item category in last position?

Hello,

I have some charts in a report in SAS Visual Analytics that have a category called "NO INFORMATION". This category needs to be displayed, as it means that a certain record did not have a definition in the information class to be displayed in the chart.

The problem is that I can't sort the labels on the X or Y axis in a bar chart object by examples without the "NO INFORMATION" category being in a meaningful position. I need this category, regardless of the ordering of the graphic and its quantity, to always be the last category to be presented in the graphic object.

The question is: is it possible? If so, how do I get only one categoria of a categorical item (class) to be displayed in the last position, disregarding any form of ordering, be it (ascending or descending) by measure or in alphabetical order in the graphic object in SAS VA?

I appreciate the colaboration of everyone.

Have you tried using a custom category to specify the order of the values in the category?

I did not try. I had seen about custom sort order.

I'll try, thanks for the information.
