Attributes

fieldFieldName

The data field to sort by.

Default value: If unspecified, defaults to the field specified in the outer data reference.

opNonArgAggregateOp

An aggregate operation to perform on the field prior to sorting (e.g., "count", "mean" and "median" ). An aggregation is required when there are multiple values of the sort field for each encoded data field. The input data objects will be aggregated, grouped by the encoded data field.

Default value: "sum" for stacked plots. Otherwise, "min".

orderanyOf(SortOrder, None)

The sort order. One of "ascending" (default), "descending", or null (no not sort).
