I have a chart formed like below and it's dynamic columns are created based on processes date. By default now the column header sort is happing from lower to higher value but I am looking in a format where headers of processDates are higher to lower.

Query:

|chart latest(Count) as Count by Name ,ProcessDate

Current Output:

Name   20240101 20240102 20240103
xyzNANANA
123NANANANA

 

 

Expecting output:

Name   2024010320240102 20240101
xyzNANANA
123NANANANA

Try

| chart latest(Count) as Count by Name, ProcessDate
| sort ProcessDate desc
