Hi @rusackas, our use case are the cumulative sum of sold tickets in the weeks prior to an event. We "normalize" the event dates that take place at different dates within a year and also in different years and the dates of the tickets to be in brackets of weeks prior to an event date. This allows us to present a chart like this:  If we were to present this as dates, we would need an inverted timeline and an arbitrary event date, let's say 1900-01-01. I don't believe this to be possible within superset. Even for something like you mentioned, countries or manufacturers a cumulative sum might be interesting (to see contributions to a the entire set, eg. the globe or entire market) if other dimensions are used already. For other ordered categorical values, like sentiments this might come in handy as well. I feel that the benefit of removing this feature from the UI for non-temporal values to be very small (as it was really useful to me), but must concede that there have been no responses by others, so probably no one else used it in this way. We've rewritten all our queries, so feel free to close the ticket. Thanks for your time! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
