We've been using a line visualization with Terms aggregation on a keyword field, and splitting the series using another keyword field. We are getting lines that zigzag: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/0/30addbc65a7187480cc3f8e43fd2091048a781ee.png) The zigzags doesn't always happen, it is data dependent. We don't see zigzags if we change the first aggregation to Descending. We don't see zigzags if we change this from a Terms aggregation to a Date Histogram. Any hints on what to do about this would be great. ---
