Natural sort order is an alphabetic sort where multi-digit numbers are treated as a single character. Generally for relational data sources, this tends to be natural sort order. Select a Sort By option, and configure its behavior:ĭata Source Order sorts based on how the data is sorted in the data source.Right-click (Windows) or control-click (Mac) the field you want to sort, and select Sort.(The Sort menu is not available for continuous measures.) You can customize sorting by using the Sort menu for specific fields. Tableau uses the current International Components for Unicode (ICU) library to determine sort order. This can either mean closest to the axis or header, or actually underneath in the case of scatterplots and other viz types that may have overlapping marks. Whatever is bottommost in the legend becomes the bottommost mark in the viz. Note: Sorting on a legend also changes the order of the marks, not simply how the legend is displayed. To manually sort, select a header in a viz or on a legend and drag it to the correct location-a heavy black line indicates where to drop the header. This example demonstrates the effect of sorting by Material. To sort by Metric A, it would be necessary to reverse their order on the Columns shelf or use another method of sorting. The toolbar sort also applies to the leftmost measure, in this case Metric B.
In this example, the sort is applied to Hue unless the Material field is selected before sorting. Choose the appropriate sort button (ascending or descending) in the toolbar.If you don’t select a field before sorting, the default behavior is to sort the deepest dimension. In an authoring environment, additional options are available. For example, scatterplots can't be sorted from a numerical axis because the positions of the marks are fully determined by the data. Sort icons aren't available on the axes in scatterplots or for table calculations. If the sort icons don't appear, this functionality may have been turned off or it might not be possible to sort the view. Therefore, Purple is first, then Green, then Blue.) Missing sort icons (Metric B is aggregated for all the colors within each hue and Hue is sorted. In this example, the sort is applied to the outermost dimension (Hue) based on total Metric B. Sort: Hues are arranged in descending order by Metric B. The icon switches to the bar icon and you can click to sort. Or, click the menu to select a field to sort by. Click the A-Z icon to sort alphabetically.The default option is alphabetical sorting, but there’s also a menu where you can choose to sort by a field in the view. The sort icon for a field label is slightly different from a header or axis. Hover over a field label to bring up the sort icon.
#Sng tool to sort active tables manual#
If the view contains a table calculation, this option creates a manual sort based on the data currently in the view. The header tooltip sort option is displayed even when the view contains a table calculation (but not in the header sort option). Note: The sort option is also available from the tooltip for a header. In this example, the sort is applied to Material (sorting the order of the columns-Paint, Fabric, and Paper) based on the values for Green, since that header was used for the sort. Sort: Materials are arranged in decreasing order of Metric B for Green.
In all cases, one click sorts ascending, two clicks sorts descending, and three clicks clear the sort. There are multiple ways to sort a visualization with single click sort buttons. Quickly sort from an axis, header, or field label
