I want to be able to manually sort the data in my reports. Suggestion (see attached picture) would be to be able to click on the "cogwheel" and select a check box or something for  "Manually Sort by" select my by field in this example it would be "Segment" and give me the option to order the data from left to right or top to bottom depending on the graph that is selected.

      Agree with the value of this. Even internally we've had to do things like 1_, 2_ where the sorting can't follow simple alphabetic. I don't have an ETA yet, but will to add to our backlog.

        I was reading this thread (https://community.gainsight.com/gainsight/topics/ability-to-choose-default-sort-option) and landed here.  This would be incredibly helpful, as we spend a lot of effort on usability and trying to get our report data to display in our preferred order (which is rarely alphabetical or convenient to rename data just for this purpose).  Having the ability to control the data display order would much appease our users.  Thanks!

          Any updates on this? Also valuable to have multiple sort by levels like in Excel.

          As we start expanding Gainsight to our other Departments, we're coming to find most of our users asking for this.  So they don't have to export the data and manually do this themselves.  Which of course, adds more time.  Just wanted to check in on this thread! 🙂 Thank you!!

              +1 to this request. It would be great to have this functionality as it provides far more flexibility in creating table reports for our CSMs and Managers.
