Correct sorting in a Bar Chart

Hey guys,

i build a bar chart with several objects and values based on a date. But now I want to have a sorting regarding to the date and not regarding to all values, like it is at the moment. How I have to fix my sorting configures?

Thanks !

So, you want to sort the 2nd dimension according to the expression Sum(Value) ? And use different sort orders within the different dates?

If so, I must unfortunately say that it is not possible. The sort orders are global for the entire object, and cannot be different within the different values of the 1st dimension.

Oh wrong example. Here You see at the first date that the Value '15' is "higher" then Value '16'.

In your example the Value 16 is assigned to Object C. But in the data there is no Object C with Value 16. Run the script and then you will see that 16 is become the position under the 15 again.

Tab:

LOAD * INLINE [

    Datum, Objekt, Value

    1.1.2015, A, 10

    1.1.2015, B, 10

    1.1.2015, C, 15

    1.1.2015, D, 16

    2.2.2015, A, 25

    2.2.2015, B, 25

    2.2.2015, C, 50

    2.2.2015, D, 45

Okay now let´s have a look at the second bar chart. Value 50 is under value 45. This is not correct. Maybe Qlikview is not able to this?

As Henric replied, you can't have different sort order for different bar in same chart. This is not possible in QlikView.
