I’m wondering if there is a way to change the order of the items in the x-trace on the time series chart. I have found that by using a script to order the items bound to my tag history expression, I can get the items in descending order; however when I add more than 7 items the order is ignored. I don’t see any options to configure the x-trace besides formatting and style.
