:group by sorting question and issues

[josh33]

Is the output list of :group by always sorted by the creation date of the "field 1 to group by "? I am trying to run a workflow to create a list of numbers but the :group by function does not allow post aggregation sorting. This is problematic as I’m creating a bunch of different graph series that have to have their values be in the same order as the X-axis on a Chart-JS bar chart so that the series values correspond to the underlying axis correctly.

If the :group by function always orders based on the creation date of the group by field, I can simply solve by sorting the X-axis the same way, but would love to hear if others know if this is always the case! I’m fairly confused why I can’t sort the group values after aggregation by anything other than the aggregated numbers themselves.

Thanks in advance!

Using :group by – new advanced Bubble article

Hey guys, Having had some questions in coaching sessions about the Group by feature, I decided to write an article about it. While the feature is fairly straightforward on its own, it does cause some confusion as to what exactly it’s used for. Hopefully this article can clear up some misunderstandings. Enjoy, and as always I welcome feedback!
