Hi,
I have stacked bar chart, with location names for Category(X) Series,
Percentage values for Value(Y) Series. The Optional Y Series Grouping is on
an attribute which can have values of 'High', Medium' and 'Low'.
The problem I have is that, whatever I do, the Y series groupings (and the
legend) are grouped as 'High', 'Low' and 'Medium'. It appears that the Y
series grouping values are being alphabetically sorted.
Is there anyway through which I can have the groupings show up as 'High',
'Medium' and 'Low' instead of 'High', 'Low' and 'Medium'? Any help will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Reddy

I found a workaround for this problem and wanted to share the workaround. If
you have a better way of doing this, please let me know.
I changed my query so that 'High' mapped to 1, 'Medium' mapped to 2 and
'Low' mapped to 3. With this the legend shows up in order (1, 2, 3).
I then implemented the 'beforeDrawLegendEntry' callback method.
function beforeDrawLegendEntry( label, context )
{
var labelValue = label.getCaption().getValue();
if(labelValue == 1) label.getCaption().setValue("High");
if(labelValue == 2) label.getCaption().setValue("Medium");
if(labelValue == 3) label.getCaption().setValue("Low");
}
This did the trick for me. The legend in my report now shows up as 'High',
'Medium', 'Low' in that order.
Thanks
Reddy

This workaround doesn't work so well in that the Legend does not
increase in size to accommodate labels longer in length than the
original "1", "2", and "3" labels.

George,
How about using aHigh, bMedium and cLow. And then use the script to
remove the first letter. This should make sure
the labels are has enough space.
