Specifies how charts with more than one data series are arranged.

Namespace: MindFusion.Charting
Assembly: MindFusion.Charting

 Syntax

C#

public enum SortSeriesBy

Visual Basic

Public Enum SortSeriesBy

 Members

	Member name	Description
	MaxValue	The maximum value of the numbers in the chart data determines the order of drawing the series.
	Nothing	No sorting of the chart series is made and the segments are drawn in such order as the lists with numerical data have been added to the XData / YData or Y2Data properties.
	Reversed	The series are drawn in reversed order.
	Sum	The sum of the numbers in each series list determines the order of drawing for this series.

 Remarks

The enumeration specifies how series lists for charts are sorted. When charts are drawn it is possible that one segment covers partly or entirely another one. That is why it is useful to specify a method for arranging the parts so that a maximum part of each one is visible.

Sorting series by sum is useful when the series lists are equal in count. Otherwise, it is more reasonable to sort the series by their maximum value.
