Allow hidden Fields in visualizations for sorting

Currently the product allows a user to sort visualizations Ascending, Descending or Custom. The custom sort allows the user to pick the values. If user views the report in another language, then the custom sort is no longer respected.

The model contains a sort column so that custom sorting can be used regardless of user language. This column can be added as a Field and sorted. However, the users do not want to see this sort column displayed.

If a "hide" property were added to the "Fields" then the sort column could be added, sorted and hidden from users. Alternatively, a "Hidden Fields" section could be added.

    Unfortunately, in reporting, it is only possible to specify a different sorting order with the old charts. For many visualizations, this functionality is still missing, meaning that, for example, a product line cannot be sorted in descending order based on sales figures. In reporting, this can only be achieved through complex intermediate queries, such as using the rank function, but the necessary functionality, as seen in the old charts, is simply missing here.



    @IBM: Change Components to Reporting, However, sorting a metric in Cognos Dashboards is already possible.

    This functionality is already available in report studio but it is missing in the dashboard tool. In report studio we can display a column and sort or another column. The sort column is not visible at runtime. It is used in the background to sort the values in the visualizations.
