Sorting Markers 'Largest to smallest'

Beta Testing Bug Reports
1

When using barchats, when you click ’ Sort Marker > Largest to smallest`(or ‘Smallest to largest’). The markers in visual are arranged with smallest marker on the top and lowest in the bottom. This is confusing for users as we tend to see a visual from top to bottom.

Sample dataset:

Person	Amount
Chin	2
Ron	10
Juan	7
Ahmad	2

Suggested Improvement: Perhaps sorting Categories in Reverse Order could be done by default.

Thanks for the suggestion @arky!
We’ll think about it.

Thanks, Perhaps the Vizzu implementation is mathematically correct. My suggestion might make it simpler for users. I tend to follow the now old adage of not to make users think.

That is the right approach, I totally agree.
However, you can actually sort the markers both ways as you said - smallest to largest and vica versa, so everyone can make it work for them as they please. Or am I missing something?
