Define a Sort Order for a Visualization

Define a sort order to apply multiple sorts to a visualization.

For example, you might want to sort a bar chart showing Sales by Product Category and Customer Segment. You can create a sort order to sort it first by Product Category alphabetically, and then by Sales from lowest to highest.
