Drag-and-drop Value Ordering in Graph Builder

Similar to how the ordering of variables can be changed per drag-and-drop in the Parallel Plot in Graph Builder (see below), I think it would be great if the ordering of categories of nominal/ordinal variables could be changed per drag-and-drop in Graph Builder Elements that support a categorical axis.

 

I find it happens a lot that the default alphabetical value ordering is not what one is looking for in a given case and one needs to change it.

 

After dragging-and-dropping the categories in the desired positions, on a right-click one should then be able to say "Save to Column Property -> Value Ordering", similar to how this works for axis settings that are saved as a Column Property.

In JMP 16 a click and hold on a categorical axis in Graph Builder will enter an edit mode where you can drag and drop to reorder the values. A right click on the axis now has a Save to Column Property option that will save the Value Order property.

wow, very helpful : )
This is exactly along the interactive spirit of JMP!

 

thanks for implementing it !
