Ticket #151 (closed defect: fixed)
Odd comparative statistics template function

Description
On the comparative statistics template function the default post processor is "sort x axis alphabetically". This is very confusing since the x-axis of the resulting graph still has dates on it (and it does not sort/re-sort the x-axis key). After removing the post processor the graph is unchanged - thus suggesting that the post processor is not having any effect.

Yes, this would have zero effect on a date vs number graph. We'll remove it from the default install of Raptor.

Not sure what you mean remove it from the default install of Raptor?

As it stands it is obvious that the sorting is not working but is it not obvious how to interpret it not working - now I know it is clever sort that does not sort dates alphabetically. However, that's not a good example to lead the user into effectively using the tool.
Why note give the install an example where the sorting of the x axis works.

Oh yes, that's what I meant - the statistical-units-system.xml file has the pre-configured graph with x-axis sort included even though it will never do anything. So what I meant was - we should remove that post-processor from that graph in the file we ship to reduce potential confusion.
Sorry, this is not major but definitely minor!
