Hi All,  
I'm using v 7.11.1  
I have this data structure in elastic:  
{  
"\_index" : "testcases",  
"\_type" : "\_doc",  
"\_id" : "ub0ll3sB2oqJ9931yhZw",  
"\_score" : 1.0,  
"\_source" : {  
"buildVersion" : "1.1.1.1",  
"testcase" : {  
"$" : {  
"name" : "Forward To Isolation",  
"time" : "14.984",  
"className" : "Contains a log with events 'Network Request' and 'Forward To Isolation"  
}  
},  
"testcaseName" : "Forward To Isolation",  
"testcaseStatus" : "Passed",  
"timestamp" : "2021-08-30T13:00:41.053Z"  
}  
}

The record is a test result (One of many tests), the tests running few times a day (every 4h) I've create visualize "Percentage Bar" that displayed the build number (In every build there are about 700 tests) , I want to see the builds sorted by **date** and to see the amount/percentage of fail/pass in each build (One on each other, separated by colors)

I have succeed to this chart, builds version in X axis and vertical is the test name braked by test status.... I just need to sort x-axis by **date** and not alphabetical...

How it can be done?

Hi @ShayWeizman ,

at the moment it is not possible to sort categories in the visualization client side, as you are looking for. There's an issue you can track the feature request: [[Lens] Allow client-side sorting of dimensions at datasource level, for all chart types · Issue #86184 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/86184)

if you're able to switch from the bar you _can_ do this in the table visualization by clicking on the column
