Stacked bar Chart- Alphanumerical sorting options for the stacked by axis

[chole (chloe warren)]

feature request for stacked bar chart display options.

Right now the more settings only allows me to sort by the X-axis. I would like to be able to configure the Z-axis sorting. By Z-axis I mean the 3rd dimension of the stacked bar chart, the stacked by. Z-axis ordering should have options for alphanumerically sorting what the chart is stacked by.

*note: being able to customize the color-code of different attributes in charts in general would also solve the problem I’m dealing with.

Rationalization: Ability to customize the order for visuals would be extremely helpful. Right now Monday’s default settings decide the color and ordering of our stacked bar chart differently than other charts (which i believe is a un-configurable sort of values descending), which is confusing to look over holistically.

Example is attached where the color code and order of a metric [“Past, Not Complete” and “Approaching”] changes depending on if it is in a pie chart or stacked bar chart. The pie chart allows me to alphanumerically sort the attribute, but the stacked bar chart does not (the attribute in this case would be the Z-axis or otherwise called what it is stacked by).

Yes, this is a very necessary feature and shouldn’t be that difficult to implement.

I really need this!

Bumping this thread. Monday often highlights its high-level insights but shorts the features of dashboarding and reports

Really need to be able to sort the “stacked by” items. Logically if you stack by status, the status should follow the order of the groups/ workflow…

We really need this feature. I want to show the order of least likely to close deals top to bottom being deals that were closed.

Probably is they just through it in a random order and doesn’t give me a choice and throughs the “Closed” deals in the middle of a stacked chart

As its author, I can endorse Vantage Charts, a custom charting app in monday.com

One of the supported features in chart configuration is custom ordering - you can pick from multiple strategies, including manual ordering based on user choice.

Here is the link:

I hope that helps!

hi @wojciechka! If you need more flexibility with visuals (custom order, consistent colors, and sorting by value or name), check out Time in Status for monday.com .
It gives you full reporting and chart customization options - you can sort by user, date, or status alphanumerically, plus build reports that actually stay consistent across views.
Here’s a breakdown of the chart options it supports if you want to see what’s possible: Time Reporting Chart View .
It’s a solid workaround until Monday adds deeper visualization settings.
