Tableau Desktop Certified Professional — Question 62

You have a field named Region in a data source Region contains the following values:

North -

East -

South -

West -
You need to ensure that Region always sorts in the order of East, South, North, and West when placed onto any worksheet.
What should you use?

Answer options

• A. The Sort indicator on the axis
• B. The Sort menu on the legend
• C. The Sort by Field menu
• D. The Default Properties of the field from the Data pane

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because setting the Default Properties of the field allows you to define a custom sort order that will be applied whenever the Region field is used in a worksheet. Options A, B, and C do not provide a persistent solution for sorting the field across all worksheets, as they only apply to specific instances of use.
