sortBy (Sort By)

The sortBy property specifies the order in which the items of a chart are displayed.

In the Properties view, this property is the Sort By property in the Chart category.

Valid values are:
  • Key - Sort alphabetically by the key value (MapChart) or by the category/key value (CategoryChart).
  • Value - Sort by the numeric value.
  • InputOrder - Preserve the order in which the items were defined. If more than one value is received for a particular key value (MapChart) or categoriy/key value combination (CategoryChart), the first value received defines the order.

By setting the property sortAscending to false a reverse sorting for each of these options can be obtained.

Type: Enumeration.
