Allow Category Labels to be on top. It's visually distracting to go from say a table where the row headers on top to a multi-row card where I want to highlight details and have to do a double take to realize the labels are on the bottom.

RE: category labels on top multi-row card

Both card and multi card should have the option to put the label on the top, bottom, left or right

I agree with previous comments regarding having the choice of where to align the labels.

RE: category labels on top multi-row card

Unusual/unfriendly way to present data with value on top of label...a bug that has been there for 2 years+...any real intent to correct this??
As mentioned by other Users, we need either labels above the value or labels placed to the left of the value.

RE: category labels on top multi-row card

There should be a simple option on both the Card and Multi-row Card visuals to place the category label at the top/bottom/left/right of the value. The gymnastics we have to go through just to get something like the below is a real pain ...

Category1 Value1
Category2 Value2
Category3 Value3

RE: category labels on top multi-row card

To go one further, allow the user the option of where to align the labels in the multi-row card. If the values are stretched out horizontally, I would opt to have the labels above the value. But If I set up the multi-row card vertically, then I would want the labels placed to the left of the value.

As a cumbersome workaround to this deficiency, I have to set up multiple "single value" cards next to each other, disable the data label and enable the card title for each one.

It is completely baffling why the labels default to being placed underneath the value. It makes no sense visually and is just poor design.
