A data analyst has a bar chart showing profit by 'Product Category'. They need to move the 'Technology' category to the top of the view to highlight its performance, regardless of its alphabetical position or profit value. Which sorting method should be used?
The correct answer is a manual sort. A manual sort allows a user to arrange data in a fixed, user-defined order by dragging headers or labels. This method is used when a specific arrangement is needed that doesn't rely on data values or alphabetical order. A computed sort organizes data based on rules, such as sorting by the value of a field (e.g., profit) or alphabetically, which is not the desired outcome here. An alphabetical sort is a type of computed sort. A nested sort is used for sorting dimensions within other dimensions and is not the primary method for this scenario.
