Sort Nested Bars by Value in Category Axis

It would be great to be able to sort the nested bars by value in visualizations that support a Bar Chart (BarChart/CombinationChart classes). Having a nested categorical X-Axis, looking to have the bars in descending/ascending order by value for each group instead of alphabetical.

    Hello Michael, thanks for submitting this idea.

    There is the possibility to sort bars by values from the bar chart Appearance properties. Is it what you are looking for ?
    Enabling this category currently disables the X-axis nested categories grouping. I understand that you are looking to keep these and sort the bar by category value and then the bars inside each group isn't it?
