Thanks, Amy. The nature of how we use charts would make a solution based around modifying the axis a lot simpler, but I may need to fall back to this approach. I think the problem is that an axis is unaware of its orientation, and left-to-right is isomorphic with bottom-to-top (to represent a cartesian chart with the standard x and y dimensions). This makes sense for numeric and datetime axes, but it seems counter-intuitive for a category axis. I wonder if I can monkey around with AxisBase.describeData()...

How bout just creating a ListCollectionView that points to the same data and sort that?
