Not sure why this is so perplexing, but or the life of me I can't get this to sort how I want.
The following chart syntax: |chart count(C) as Count by B,C
where B is a Month field, C represents 5 separate values and Count is the count of those values as they occur by Month.
The resulting multi-series chart displays with the correct data, but regardless of how I try and sort, the Month is sorted correctly, but within each month the columns representing the 5 counts are always sorted by the alpha value of "C" and not the count.
Basically I wanted to do this | chart count(C) as Count by B,C |sort 0 B,Count
But that doesn't work.
