This macro can be used to sort series and groups. Risers and labels can be sorted by ascending/descending series, groups, series totals, group totals, or by a user-specified order defined within the data set. For a user-specified sort order (nSort = 10 or 11), define the order in which to sort groups in the first series column of the data set. You can use the @IS macro to eliminate the first series if you do not want the sort order series to appear in the chart.
