Hi,  
I Plot a bar chart in kibana visualization and I am showing multiple bar for multiple fields value in x-axis.  
I want to add filter and set order on chart based on any filed.

Chat image is below.

Any filter option on dashboard who can change order of bar(asc/desc) in above image.  
Like descending chart based of green, red or blue bar field.

Thanks  
Vikram Singh

HI @vikramdayma

It is currently not possible to client side sorting chart categories in Lens, but you can track this issue: [[Lens] Allow client-side sorting of dimensions and legends at datasource level for all chart types · Issue #86184 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/86184)
