Sorting by Alternative measures for a line graph

Afternoon everyone,

I am just starting to use Qlik Sense after many years of using QLikView.

Trust someone will be able to assist with using the sort function with a line chart that has 10 lines (ie the dimension being displayed has 10 distinct values). I have created an alternative measure, so in total I have 2 measures. The user of the QS model can then choose which measure they want to look at.

I would like my legend to be ordered by the value of the lines in the graph. I can achieve this by creating a sort expression for the dimension that is reflected in the legend. This works well if you have 1 measure. However, if I change to the alternative measure the sort for that dimension remains according to the sort expression, which is for the first dimension.

In effect I need to be able to say in the sort expression, if using the original measure use this sort expression, but if the measure is changed to the alternative measure use a different sort expression. Is there a Qlik Sense function that will tell me which measure is being displayed in the graph.

Any ideas on how to achieve this will be appreciated.

Thanks Steeefan, work perfectly, GetObjectMeasure() is exactly the function I needed to use.
