Hi Andee and Traci,

You’re definitely making me reconsider the design decision to list categories on the y-axis from top to bottom. Traci’s example of the “nonsensical” behavior of the reordering that occurs when switching back and forth from numeric to categorical is particularly persuasive. Also, I have to remind myself that the decision in Fathom was based on the presence of a summary table, which we do not have in CODAP.

So I’ll post the story in Pivotal Tracker, our bug and feature tracking system.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Bill
