Origin Version :Origin V 7.0 Operating System:XP SP1
When i plot a Categorical X column and an associated Y columns, Origin creates a graph with the X categories as X axis tick labels. These tick labels are organized alphabetically (categories starting with numeric values are first),but i want to organize these tick labels as the order of the data i entered in the X column in my worksheet,how can i do?
You don't need to set the X column as Categorical to make your plot. Clear the check mark next to Set as Categorical (Column:Set as Categorical) and remake your graph. I think this will produce what you are looking for.
