Reverse Sort Dates in Visualizations Merged

Whenever you use a date column it always sorts in chronological order, I would like to the option to reverse that order so the most recent date shows up first especially in a Cross Table / Graphical Table.

    Oh, just realized this idea is about sorting based on the headers of the cross table and graphical table. This is not implemented but captured also in the idea: https://ideas.tibco.com/ideas/SPF-I-4953

    So I will merge the ideas.

    Ignore last post. I was in the wrong context here and table sort is IMPLEMENTED.

    Hi Niklas,

    Please DO NOT close. The ability to sort on the resultant visualization is not the same as this need.

     

    Consider a filter list or document property populated from the values in a column. THis is used as an input to another on demand query.  The sequence of the element is such a list is always Natural order and a custom  or reverse sort is not possible and so the most recent date value is always at the bottom of the list.

    Correct me if there is a way to reverse this.

    This idea seems to be about the cross table and graphical table. The other idea you linked to is about sorting in the filters.

    Actually one can already filter on date values in the cross table and graphical table, so unless someone objects and corrects my understanding I am going to close this Idea.

    IS this the same as https://ideas.tibco.com/ideas/SPF-I-680 

    Any plan on allowing a filter to be set to display as "Reverse Sort"
