Sort By (sortBy)

The Sort By 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 (Map Chart) or by the category/key value (Category Chart).
  • 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 (Map Chart) or categoriy/key value combination (Category Chart), the first value received defines the order.

Set the sortAscending property to False to obtain reverse sorting.
