Axis sort giving odd result

I tried to sort the X-Axis by descending values.. but it's clearly not doing that.  What am I missing?  INV$ is the Y-axis.  I want most INV$ to least by label on the X-axis.

Re: Axis sort giving odd result

Check Order Statistic from the X-axis (right click on axis and check order statistic). It might be using different summary statistic than the bars for ordering.

 

Example: Bars are using Sum but X-axis is sorted by Min

Re: Axis sort giving odd result

Without knowing the data you have, only one thing comes to my mind. Check which summary statistic is being used (you might have to change it to Sum for example)

Re: Axis sort giving odd result

I do have the summary statistic set as sum, which is why it's odd.JMP Graph 2.JPG

Re: Axis sort giving odd result

That did it!  The order statistic was Mean.. so I changed it to Sum and it worked as expected.  Appreciate the help.
