How do you display response time results sorted in descending order ?

I am trying to display response times in a chart for my services. But, how do I display the response times results in chart in descending order (Highest number first)?

<myBaseSearch> | eval Date=strftime(_time, "%Y-%m-%d")  | chart avg(response_time) over services by Date  | rename * as avg_*  | rename avg_services as services   | foreach avg_* [eval "<<FIELD>>"= round('<<FIELD>>',2)]  | rename avg_* as *

hey @navd,

You can not do that if you have multiple services , because you have got multiple columns and you are actually sorting on multiple columns which is logically not possible.

However, you can sort on 1 column(1 service) using | sort - servicename but other columns will automatically adjust.

let me know if this helps!
