Manual reordering of steps for funnel visualization

[ukritw]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The funnel diagram sort the steps alphabetically by default, which renders the ordering useless most of the time. The current workaround is to rename the steps alphabetically (e.g. a_step1, b_step2, c_step3) such that it can be sorted correctly or to add an additional column for specifying the order of steps in SQL (e.g. 1, 2, 3).

Describe the solution you'd like In the sidebar of the visualization menu, the users should be able to click on the gear icon that opens up a "steps ordering" setting. The setting should display the list of all possible steps with the ability move each step up and down the list by drag-and-drop.

Describe alternatives you've considered The alternative is let the user add one step at a time. Similar to what adding a series is like in the line chart visualization. Without the drag-and-drop functionality, this should be easier to implement.

How important is this feature to you? It almost falls into the category of must-have feature since every user needs to use the workaround to make the ordering of the funnel diagram display correctly.

Isn't this a duplicate of the issues you list? Or how is this different?

[ukritw]

@flamber It's the same issue but with a proposed solution and more specific to the funnel visualization.

I don't see any labeling on the other ones, so I thought of posting this one to give more context and surface the problem.

Or should I post it under #13669?

[flamber]

I would just add it to #5401, which is specific about funnels, but from my reading, that is what the issue is asking for already. Otherwise #13669 perhaps.

Added to #5401.
