Join us January 15th for an AMA with Champion Achaia Walton, who will be talking about her article on Event-Based Reporting and Measuring Content Groups!
It would be great if the option to manually select the ordering of the row dimensions were available, i.e. dragging and dropping where should go, just as we're able to do with the column dimensions - currently there is only the option of ascending or descending order.
In terms of ordering of the columns it would also be useful to have the option of sorting the labels in ascending and descending order.
@Dan_Ellis1, you read my mind. Glad I found your post as I was making my own about this and a few other related reasons why I'd like to see the table builder from Ad Hoc make it's way to Workspace.
I too have wished there was an option to order the dimension in ascending/descending value in all of the analysis tools when working with custom prop/eVar dimensions that have numeric values.
+1 to this. When my analyst added multiple metrics as rows in a freeform table, he couldn't reorder them in a pattern that made sense to the organization. It seems to just order by event ID number.
Thanks for all this great feedback - we have manual row ordering on our backlog and are actively looking into a solution. I'd like to make sure I have the primary uses cases articulated so we can make sure we address them. Are they:
1) Ability to order metric rows manually, e.g. so you could show clicks, orders, then CVR in that order.
2) Ability to order dimensions manually, primarily for numeric dimension reordering - for this one, we may not be able to let you click "sort in numerical order" because we store dimensions as text at this time (this hits another effort we are pursuing though), but would just the ability to drag & rearrange suffice in the meantime?
