Sort data source is used for sorting data retrieved by another data source. With sorting, the appearance of the chart due to the order of data values can be changed. For example, several data series might be wanted to be shown in alphabetically increasing order according to the names of the series, but the order in which data series come from another data source can vary. The order of the data series can be changed with sort data source.
Sort data source itself does not need any special setup, but the data source inside the sort data source must be setup.
The examples show the effect of arranging incoming data channels on the generated chart.
