What changes

  • New X-axis sort section listing Default, Default (reversed), Ascending/Descending and Bars ascending/descending
  • Explains Bars ascending/descending need a categorical x-axis, and are disabled for dates
  • Gives the workaround: use a string-typed dimension on the x-axis to sort bar totals

Why

The Axes section only said "Adjust sort order of your x-axis" without listing the options or explaining why Bars ascending/descending is disabled for date x-axes.
