In Box Plot, set the Reference Points by expressions

In the reference point of a box plot, there are cases where I would like to set values that is not the default. 
It is very useful to be able to set the Reference Points by expressions.
For example, +/-3sigma process capability and etc. can be displayed as "Show real data points in box plot".

Implemented in 14.6

    you could use line and curves and use percentile 5, for example.

    The quartiles shown in the Box Plot cannot be modified to reverse the order. For example: if I have values ranging from 1-10, my first quartile of values shows up between 1-3 second between 4-6. However, I want the better number which is 8-10 to be the first quartile and so on so forth. There is no way to customize these existing reference points.
