Rearrange Categories on an Axis

How To... > Work with Graphs > Change Axis Scales > Rearrange Categories on an Axis

By default, if there is no category set applied to a categorical attribute, its categories will appear in alphabetical order in graphs and summary tables. To change the order of categories on a categorical axis:

•Drag the category name to the desired position.

Whether changing the order of categories on a graph axis affects that graph only, or all objects in which that attribute is displayed depends on whether the attribute has a category set applied to it or not. If no category set, then the effect is on one object only. If there is a category set, then the effect is on all objects. (see Control Behavior of Categorical Attributes Using Category Sets.)
