Remove Y Axis Sorting on DevExpress Chart (WinForms)

Question

I have DevExpress ChartControl and by default the Chart is sorted on Y Axis, but I don't want that behavior. I need the ChartControl to show the datasource the way I build it.

The chart is sorted on Y-Axis (3010139, 3010136, 3010129, ...). But, it's not the way my List was sorted, and I want to remove this behavior from my chartcontrol.

Answer 1

I believe you should set either the ChartControl.SeriesSorting property value or the SeriesBase.SeriesPointsSorting property value to DevExpress.XtraCharts.SortingMode.None .

For more details please refer to Sorting Data help article.

Answer 2

Use the AxisBase.QualitativeScaleComparer property to define a custom axis label order (see the sample code snippet from the How to: Display Qualitative Scale Values Sorted in a Custom Sort Order article).

The main idea is to attach a class instance implementing the System.Collections.IComparer interface to sort axis values.
