Change order of Pie Graphs and Legend items

Summary

I created a Pie Graph view and would like to specify the order

Content

I created a pie graph view with multiple pie graphs and of course a legend. Is there a way to specify the order of the Pie Graphs and/or the Legend items?

I added a sequence field that will be the sort order field, but I cannot find a way to use that in any of the Pie Graph settings

It appears that both the Pie Graphs and Legend items are sorted by name; alphabetically

any help would be appreciated

    Hi Shawn

    From what I have experienced is that this is correct functionality. My workaround was to change those item names to be 1. Not Started, 2. In Progress, such that they show in the correct order. Hope that helps

    You can add a column for sort order and add the 'sort order' column to the pie or bar graph.  You can't hide the 'sort order' column in Graph.  If you want to hide the 'sort-order' column in the graph, you'll need to use Pivot View.  Select Graph only and on the Pivot column property for the 'sort order' column, select 'Hidden'.  This will sort the column by your 'sort order' column on the Pivot graph while hiding the 'sort order' itself.

    Adding a sort order column is the same as adding a column with custom formula. I'll post a document on how to add 'sort order' to table & graph.
