Bar chart will not sort alphabetically

Re: Qlik Cloud

Hello, my bar chart is sorting numerically. I would like it to sort alphabetically. This seems like it should be really easy but I have tried each option in the 'sorting' category and none have worked.

Under the sorting category, it should be as easy as placing the STRING dimension on top of the sorting order.

I am assuming you have a dimension that is a string, and a measure which is numeric?

Hi, I should have mentioned that I have two dimensions (both strings) and one measure (a number). For example:

Dimensions:

1. Year

2. Animal

Measure:

1. Count of animals

For your second chart above, instead of having a bunch of blue bars, my chart has a blue bar, a green bar, and a red bar, next to each other. Then, next to that, it again has a blue bar, green bar, red bar. 

I hope that makes more sense.

And did you put the [Animal] measure as the first sort?

Oh, I need to reorder those. Got it. Thanks!
