    Is not possible to sort a column by an additional feature (eg the names of months of the year)

    'Yeah, we when close ideas like this we really should tell you how it works! Sorry!

    You can do this with the 'Sort By Column' feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk6FJFVkdHs

    @Andy L - to change how a particular visual is sorted, click the ... button in the top right of the viz. Then you can click the A-Z or Z-A icon to swap the order.

    When items are marked as completed. Can a quick explanation or link be attached to the idea so others can find how the added features works.

    So, this is great and all - but why can't I pick to sort A-Z, or Z-A? Sometimes I want to see the lowest ranked, sometimes the highest ranked.

    I have the same problem. I get the months sorted from april to september instead for january - dec.

    OF course the visualizations need to support the sorting after it's added to the model
