Sorting tiles alphabetically

You can sort the categories represented by different tiles in a common alphabetical order. The sorting includes the tiles from all existing KPIs in the KPI chart.

About this task

Note: When Separate KPIs is applied (or Start each KPI on a new row is selected on the Appearance page of the KPI chart Properties dialog), sorting is done per KPI and does not include tiles from all existing KPIs in the KPI chart.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the KPI chart to display the pop-up menu.
  2. Select Sort order > Alphabetical.
    If you want to display the tiles the other way around, select Sort order > Reversed alphabetical.

Example

The KPI chart below contains two KPIs. The first KPI shows the number of visitors at different stores, and the second KPI shows sales and purchase figures for different fruit types. The tiles are not sorted.


No sorting

Sorting the tiles in alphabetical order results in the KPI chart below. The categories are ordered alphabetically.
