# Manage data order in your tiles

### Overview

You can force a certain layout/order of your insights in your tiles. By default, it will be the alphabetical order.

📝 I’m analyzing the number of people visiting my mall by day. So I’d would like to order my data by the day of the week. The day of the week are contained in the `label` column of my data file.

### Sort values[¶](https://github.com/ToucanToco/doc-v3/blob/main/visualizations-and-layouts/creating-visualizations/advanced-chart-configuration/broken-reference/README.md)

For some tiles you can select a default order from the **tiles parameters** menu. Ascendant or descendant.

📝 Do I want to identify first the worst performers? or the best ones? What decision should I be able to make?

### Configure order from a column[¶](https://github.com/ToucanToco/doc-v3/blob/main/visualizations-and-layouts/creating-visualizations/advanced-chart-configuration/broken-reference/README.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
Warning

This is only available from the code mode.
{% endhint %}

From the code mode you can also set the order of your values from a column.

Add an **order by** parameter. Fill the `""` with the name of the column containing the order. It can be a `int` or `str` column, by default it will be `asc` and alphabetical order.

```coffeescript
order:
  by: ""
```

### Configure order from a list

{% hint style="info" %}
Warning

This is only available from the code mode.
{% endhint %}

From the code mode you can also manually set the order of your values.

Add an **order custom** parameter. Fill the `[""]` with the literal value of the label/group/pack. Separate values with `,` and add them in the order you wish them to be displayed.

```coffeescript
order:
  custom: [""]
```

📝 I want to see Paris first, what ever the value is. I would use :

```coffeescript
order:
  custom: ["Paris"]
```

📝 I want to see Paris first, then Monaco, what ever the values ares. I would use :

```coffeescript
order:
  custom: ["Paris", "Monaco"]
```
