Disable auto sort on grouping

Hi,
When I create a line chart, even though the Y series is selected as UNSORTED, the auto sorting on grouping is enables. How do I disable auto sorting on Y series grouping? I use Birt 2.6...

How do you want it to be sorted when you have grouping? First group to appear in the dataSet?

I do not need any sorting, the data comes sorted from data set...

Thanks,

To be able to group BIRT has to sort first. If you decide to not sort the groups they are sorted using their name. The data sorting is just to enable the user to sort the series using some other attributes

So, if you created a computed column that incremented each time the "group" changed in your dataSet, you'd have a field in which you could group on in BIRT that would order them numerically how you want. Then, you'd just use the field you want to display as the value in your group header rather than the numeric representation that you grouped on.
