Ordering a ledgend based on age range

I need to order these :

 

0-5 = 1

6-20 = 2

21-50 = 3

50> = 4

 

I have a calculated column called 'Age Profile' which outputs 0-5 etc....

I would be really grateful if someone could help me done this.

Not sure if this is the best way to go about it, but I would:

 

1. Create a conditional column in query editor that generates a new column that states the order you want

2. Highlight the Age Profile column in the Fields tab , click on modeling tab, click on sort by column, then select the order column you created in step 1.

 

Please let me know if you need more information.

@johnbradbury,

I am not sure if there is a way to sort the Legends.

 

But Is it possible for you to make small changes in your age group values such as follows

 

6-20 to 06-20

50> to Above 50

 

This you need to do because since this column is of type text, the sorting is done by checking character by character. So it is essential that you make these changes for it to work

 

This will fix this sort issue

I'm sure I've seen this done, I just can't find it.
