Sorting Stack Bar Chart X-axis on Measure Value In Dashboard

This would allow the x-axis value of a stacked bar chart (and others) to be sorted on a measure value that is a part of the data module or a calculation that does not appear in the visualization. In the attached screen shot, there are 3 length measures. This would allow the agencies to be sorted on the TOTAL of the three measures vs just one or more of them independently. You can add a total item as a length measure and then sort on that (which you can see in the screen shot) but then it is shown in the visualization. So it seems that you would want to sort on the total item but NOT make it part of the display.
