I am trying to create a graph where the Y axis is the scale (0-300) and the X-Axis contains application names whose value is the frequency of occurence. I want the x-axis to sort based on the number of records so that it creates a nice "long-tail" distribution. In the device I enabled sort values by frequency, but this didn't have the desired effect on the graph itself. It only sorted them in the device.
finally, I tried to use the value sort under field options, but it only allows for manual, or alpha sort. Any ideas?
Are you using a Graph view? You should be using a Bar/line view, and click the "Order bars" icon on the toolbar. Post a screenshot or an IOK file if you this doesn't help and we'll take a further look.
