I agree, that should work. I'll try to fix it when I have a chance.
In the mean time, a work around would be to use
levels=collect(xs) where xs is your vector of names. That will
effectively convert the PooledDataArray to a regular Array, so should
work.

>From one Daniel to the next - thanks! :) This looks like exactly what
I need. If I try manually constructing a vector with the names like
you did, then it does order the bars. However, if I try to pass in an
array, I get the following. Please note - Im new to Julia so I may
have some misunderstanding about how array substitution works, or have
made a newbie syntax error. Based on your example though this seemed a
logical substitution.
Thanks!

It should work if you add:
Scale.x_discrete(levels=["a", "b", "c"])
where ["a", "b", "c"] is a vector of the values in the order you'd like
them to appear.

Friends,
I have a simple array that has counts (sorted descending) and names
associated with each count (please see screenshot). When I plot a bar
chart with name on the X axis, and count on the Y axis, the bars get
automatically sorted alphabetically by the names on the Y axis. I
would like to have the bars sorted ascending or descending by the Y
axis (the count), essentially to match the order that I have in the
array. Am I missing something simple?
Thanks in advance!
