Allow bar/column charts to sort categories by aggregated value (not name)

What is the challenge?
  • When charting idea categories by total votes in Aha! (e.g., Idea categories vs. Idea votes), bar/column charts currently order the category series alphabetically. This makes it hard to quickly see which categories are most important.

  • Please add an option to control category ordering in charts, for example:

  • Sort by aggregated value (e.g., total votes) descending or ascending

  • Keep existing alphabetical/name-based ordering as an alternative

  • Concrete use case:

  • I have a report where each bar is an idea category and the bar height is the sum of idea votes in that category.

  • I want to see the bars ordered from highest → lowest votes, to focus conversation on the top categories.

  • Right now, I have to use a pivot or export to another tool to get that ordering, which breaks the flow.

  • This would make charts a much better tool for prioritization reviews and stakeholder presentations, without needing to switch views or export data.
