When using the geostats command in a pie chart, how do I re-sort the data that is displayed?
I am trying to build a map, my data is in the below format for multiple cities across the world:
OCode --> LineCount --> LineCount2 --> Lat1 --> Lat2
A 100 120 98.12 -112.12
B 100 150 98.53 -115.23
When i am trying to use the geostats command, in the Pie Chart, I am getting data as
A LineCount 100
B LineCount 100
A LineCount2 120
B LineCount2 150
Although I want it as
A LineCount 100
A LineCount2 120
B LineCount 100
B LineCount2 150

Building off of what @niketnilay said, you can use whitespace
to make the alphanumeric sorting prefix invisible like this:
| rename "Count: GET" AS " Count: GET"
"Sum: GET" AS " Sum: GET"
"Count: POST" AS " Count: POST"
"Sum: POST" AS "Sum: POST"
Here is a run-anywhere example in action:
| makeresults
| eval myfield="one two three four"
| makemv myfield
| mvexpand myfield
| eval myfieldSortable = case(
(myfield="one"), " " . myfield,
(myfield="two"), " " . myfield,
(myfield="three"), " " . myfield,
(myfield="four"), " " . myfield,
true(), myfield)
| multireport
[| eval host="leadingSpacesNO", count=1 | fields - myfieldSortable | xyseries host myfield count]
[| eval host="leadingSpacesYES", count=2 | fields - myfield | xyseries host myfieldSortable count]

Geostats stats fields are sorted alphabetically. You can try to pipe rename commands to add sequence numbers 1., 2., 3. etc as per the sequence you need
Here is an example, by default Count: Get and Count POST are displayed first followed by Sum: GET and Sum: POST. Following will sort GETs first followed by POSTs:
| rename "Count: GET" as "1.Count: GET"
| rename "Sum: GET" as "2.Sum: GET"
| rename "Count: POST" as "3.Count: POST"
| rename "Sum: POST" as "4.Sum: POST"
