How to order TO and FROM nodes in Path Way diagram (Sankey) in Visual Analytics

[LukeSAS]

Hello,

I am currently creating a path way or as some call it sankey,  diagram.

I want to show behaviour for how customers extends their loans.

 I am able to create a diagram and the visualization perfectly but the To and From nodes order is in my experience completely random.

I wish to have a specifik order of the nodes where the shortest loan time should be first in the from and to node.

Something like this:

From node                          To Node

1 year                                   1 year

2 year                                  2 year

3 year                                 3 year

I am not able to find a any option for this, I've tried to create a custom sort order for the category variable but it does show that order once I use it in the diagram.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

L

I do see that an option to order the nodes was not available in version 7.5x, and I don't see any indication in later releases that the option to order nodes was added. I don't see any open feature requests. You could add one using this community:
