Custom Sort

Custom Sort dialog

The custom sort feature can be used to arrange the x-axis in any desired order. When the custom sort dialog opens, the table will display the columns in the order they currently appear in the plot. To rearrange the columns, simply highlight the rows you wish to move in the table (either by clicking and dragging, or by clicking the first row, holding shift, and clicking the last row), then drag the highlighted rows to the position you want. To scroll the table while dragging, hold the mouse cursor at the top or bottom of the table.

The controls on the sort dialog are:

Save
