Pie chart slices ordering

Hi, I am wondering how the pie chart slices are ordered. I passed in an array of numbers to Series.setDataSet() but the slices are not drawn in the same order as the values. Is there a way to manually set a sort method?

Thanks!

Hi Terry:

By default they are ordered in ascending order of your Category. If you like to change that edit your chart and click on "edit group and sorting" button in "Select Data" tab. Here you can specify grouping and sorting attributes.

I am actually wondering how I can do that through the charting API. How do I set categories for some of the values of the series?

Thanks,

I'd also like to sort the category values pie chart by a value other than the field assigned to the 'category definition'. In the select data tab, I click 'edit group and sorting', but the 'Sort On' field is grayed out. Is there a way to change or override the default, or any ideas? I'm in BIRT Designer 2.6.1.
