It should be possible to sort terms/keywords in custom order

[odin-]

Describe the feature:

When creating for example stacked bar diagrams from data imported (using Elastic Search) it should be possible to select the exact order of the data displayed in the diagram bars.

Let's say we have 10 of A, 15 of B and 3 of C. The order of the stacked data in the diagram should be configurable so that B is on the bottom, C is in the middle and A is on the top (for example).

In my case I run a number of regressions and output PASS, FAIL, TIMEOUT, ERROR in the stacked diagrams. I always want to have PASS in the bottom independent of PASS count.

hi @odin-

You could create a scripted field in Kibana that maps PASS/FAIL/TIMEOUT/ERROR to 0/1/2/3 numbers. Then, in the Visualize data panel, you can sort your results based on this ordering.

Select your scripted field in this input box:

Hi,

I just stumbled upon this issue and was wondering if there was any news on this? Not that the scripted fields don't work, but I would love to be able to do it directly in a visualization without having to add any global overhead.

I think with breakdown by filters you can have the order you want. I am closing this
