Sort Data in a Graph

Fathom can sort the bars or ribbon bands in a graph of categorical data from lowest to highest.

1. Select the graph.

2. Choose Graph | Sort Bars.

If a category set is applied to the attribute, reordering categories (whether by dragging or sorting) will change the order of its categories; all objects displaying the attribute will use this new sort order.

When you have a split numeric graph with a value plotted on it, you can sort the groups by that value.

1. Select the graph by clicking on it.

2. Choose Graph | Sort by Plotted Value.

If you have more than one value plotted on the graph, first select one by clicking on its expression below the plot, then sort.
