Hi All,

Am trying to schedule reporting using Xpack,is it possible to get the reporting in random orders instead of count of documents

for example in visualize --\> data table

Top 5 can be A,BC,D,E based on count of documents  
but I want it as random orders B,D,A,E,C values irrespective of their counts.For random auditing purposes.

Thanks,  
Raj

I am not sure I got your question.

As the data table is just an aggregation, the default ordering is by count. Even though there are other possibilities to sort, there is no possibility to randomize the sorting.

if that is not what you are asking for, please add some more details.

Hi Alex,

Thankyou for the reply,am sorry if am asking silly questions 🙂

for example :

For last 15 mins lets say A communicated to B (50%) , C (30%) ,D (15%) E (5%)  
If am creating datatable or any other visualisation it will be be like this based upon count

A B 50  
A C 30  
A D 15  
A E 5

BUT is it possible get a random orders like

A C 30  
A E 5  
A B 50  
A D 15

Thanks,  
Raj
