Interactive Chart Tool sorting with Transform/Split

Hi. I faced problem with Interactive Chart Tool sorting when using option Transform/Split.  I sorted data for X axis before connected data to the tool, but after using option Transform/Split the Chart tool gives priority in sorting to the field that used to split date. I created two different example, I hope their illustration will help me to describe what I mean. What I need is to keep sort like in first example regardless values in field that used in Transform/Split.

In your Input Data, there is only one row with Germany and the value 7.

Here is the workflow with two rows for Germany and the correct visualisation.

Yes, only one row with Germany and the value 7. Because that is when the problem arises, when Country have different Sport category than others. In case of two rows I have also everything correct. I created two different scenario just to show case when sorting works correct and case when problem arises.

Ok, so what's the sort you need to have ?

I need to sort Country by total number. In this example - to keep order in second chart like in first  one. In both case Germany have count 7.  But in second chart it comes after Spain which has count 5.

Here it is ! I added the football to Germany with value 0.

 

I'll work on a version that creates all combinations so it should sort the right way whatever the values.
