Hi Team, is that possible to sort in custom order. Sort this chart as 'active recent', 'active not recent', etc?

Great question! Looking at your "Player Count by Status" bar chart, you want to reorder the Status attribute values in a custom sequence (e.g., Active - Recent first, then Active - Not Recent, etc.) rather than the default alphabetical order. GoodData does not support drag-and-drop reordering of attribute values directly in the UI. However, you can achieve a custom sort order using the following approach: Recommended: Add a Sort-Order Column in Your Data Source This is the most reliable method for arbitrary custom ordering: [Sort Labels] 1. Add a numeric ranking column to your database table that maps each Status value to your desired order. For example:| Status | sort_order | |---|---| | Active - Recent | 1 | | Active - Not Recent | 2 | | Inactive | 3 | | Lapsed | 4 | 2. In the GoodData Modeler, click the button next to your Status attribute, select Sort by…, and choose the
sort_order
column (ascending). 3. Save your model. This will display the Status values in your exact custom order across all visualizations using that attribute. Alternative: Alphabetical/Numeric Sort Only If your desired order happens to align with A→Z or Z→A, you can configure a sort label directly in the modeler without adding a new column. But since your required order (Active - Recent → Active - Not Recent → Inactive → Lapsed) doesn't follow a simple alphabetical pattern, the sort-order column approach above is the way to go.
