Hierarchies input order (hierarchiesInputOrder)

The Hierarchies input order property specifies the order by which the data is presorted.

In the Properties view, this property is the Hierarchies input order property in the Chart category.

If nothing is specified, the data is assumed to be presorted in the declaration order of the dimensions. This is the default. For example, given a table with three dimensions, not specifying this attribute is the equivalent of specifying a value of "0,1,2".

Specifying an empty set indicates that the data will arrive unsorted. Large data amounts should be at least partially presorted.

Specifying a wrong input order can cause runtime errors and yield incorrect results.
