data order in a pie chart [message #55151]

I have a dataset like this:

criteria amount
---------------------------
very important 5
important 3
average 2
less important 4
not important 6

I want to display this data in a pie chart. The order-clause of the select
statement brings the criteria into right order (very
important-important-average...).
In the pie chart i define the x-series as ordered ascending. But in the
resulting pie chart, data isn't ordered at all. Ordering of the legend
entries is 'very important-average-important-less important-not important'.

Anyone has an idea how I can bring the data into desired order?

Thanks in advance,
Florian

Hi Florian,

In other types of charts, such as bar chart and stock chart, the data
could be organized in correct order.

Unfornately, it doesn't work well in the pie chart. All the data will be
ordered by the first letter of X-series (Base-series) value. In your case,
the order will be "average-important-less important-not important-very
important".

So please enter this problem into Bugzila; we will work on it ASAP.
Thanks:)

the 'very important' was in first place because I had it with a capital
'V' in the database...
I added a bug report.

Best Regards,
