Is it possible to get slider, variable-based, in the reversed order? That is, instead of 0 to 100, get 100 to 0, left to right or top to bottom.
I tried set min value to 100 and max to 0 - it didn't do anything. If I set negative step, QV hangs.
It should be simple, but somewhow I can't find it .
Is it imposible???
Thanks,
Michael
Perhaps a dual field: dual(Value,-Value) as Value. Or setting the Number format for the negative values to show as normal: #,##0;#,##0
A somewhat weird workaround:
Use negative values from -100 to 0, and cover each minus sign with a text object. And, use absolute values in the calculations.
Still, would like a better solution

Thanks GW,
Both dual field and number format work. I prefer number format, no need to create extra field.
Just a note:
When using a field, I think you can just sort by number descending. Apparently you can't use this option for a variable.
This is correct Stefan, with field you can sort it in any way.
Strangely, sort wasn't available when I modified the slider originally created with a variable. But if create a new slider from scratch using field, sort works.
Anyway, variable with number format #,##0;#,##0 is a better solution in my case.

Some follow-up.
The solution with number formatting #,##0;#,##0 is limited. It doesn't help if the range goes accross the 0, for example from 50 to -50. Apparently the only way in this case is to use field.

I also came across this issue, and I think it was due to following:
I you create a slider with option to set variables, the only option in value mode is 'continuous/numeric'.
This won't allow to specify sort order.
If you then change to use a field instead of variables, you need to change the value mode manually to 'Discrete'. This enables sort tab options again.
It helps, thanks Stefan.
