A developer has nested two non-measures in a Column visualization in a dashboard. How would the developer manually order the columns to get the column order to show properly?

Question

Options

• AUse automatic sorting.
• CSelect Sort remaining items by Auto.
• DUse custom sorting.

• A
  15% (3)
• C
  5% (1)
• D
  80% (16)

Explanation

Custom sorting (D) is the correct choice because when two non-measures (dimensions) are nested in a Column visualization, the developer needs explicit, manual control over the column sequence - which only custom sorting provides. Automatic sorting (A) is wrong because it applies a system-determined order (e.g., alphabetical or by value), not a user-defined one, so you surrender control of the sequence. "Sort remaining items by Auto" (C) is a hybrid option that only handles unspecified items and still doesn't give full manual control over the entire column order.

Memory tip: Think of "custom" as "control" - whenever a question says manually order something, the word custom is your signal. Auto = hands-off; Custom = hands-on.
