Ability to order the series/slices/stacks on a chart

[mirath]

How can I go about changing the order in which the queries are graphed? Right now I have a stacked histogram graph for memory usage (used, buffered, cached, free), the free memory appears somewhere in the middle but I would like it to appear on top.

In Kibana 4, you can move visualizations around as you see fit.

Please consider reopening. The issue is about the ordering of stacked charts in Kibana 3. Say I've queries for Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 and have these selected in a date histogram stacked bar chart. Currently (Kibana 3) the ordering seems arbitrary and I might end up with a stacked chart with Windows 8 at the bottom, followed by XP, and Windows 7 at the top, while I might like the oldest OS (XP) at the bottom, followed by 7 and then 8.

I have not found corresponding functionality in Kibana 4, but I still find the request valid. I find it important to keep the Kibana 3 feature requests open so they are not lost and can be considered when implementing Kibana 4.

The closest thing to this in Kibana 4 would be a X-axis date histogram aggregation with a split bars terms sub aggregation. Can I select an ordering of the stacked bars in Kibana 4?

Oh, I guess I misread this one. If I get this right, you're asking to be able to order the results on the bar chart, or really any visualization.

You're right, this does seem like a useful thing to add. Sorry I mis-read the first time around - re-opening as an enhancement. Thanks!

Thanks @w33ble ! Yes, the idea is to order the stack on a stacked graph.

Any Idea when can we expect this feature (#4315) will be added to Kibana?

+1 as I believe this was functionality that was supported in Kibana 3. And as noted in #4315 it sort of makes split charts a lot less usable.

Closing this issue as we plan on addressing it in the below two issues. The client side sorting issue is planned as a high priority for 8.x

For XY: We plan on delivering this functionality as part of this issue #86184
For pie/donut slices: We plan on delivering the pie slice order as part of this issue #90179
