Sort Order of Filter Widget Values on Field-based Filters

For a field-based filter, there are two sort options available under the Filter Options Sort Order setting: Ascending and Descending.

By default, filter widget values are displayed in ascending order (image on the left). In our example, to see the most recent population of Australia first, select the Descending option (image on the right).

Sort Order of Filter Widget Values on Custom Filters

For a custom filter, there are three sort options available under the Filter Options Sort Order setting: Ascending, Descending, and Default.

The default setting of the sort order in a custom filter is Default. In the following image, notice that the default sort order in the filter widget is the same as the lables of the custom filter added in the Values tab: Country, Year, Region, and GDP.

You can select the Ascending option to change the sort order to country, GDP, Region, and Year, or select the Descending option to change the sort order to Year, Region, GDP, and Country.
