Add an option to sort by relative change in the entity selector if applicable

Open sophiamersmann opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Core problem

  • Some charts have relative mode but we can't currently sort by the relative values in the entity selector, which makes it difficult to discover trends in relative terms
  • For example, in this chart, it would be useful to be able to sort the relative number to find countries with the highest relative increase/decrease in military spending

Proposed solution

Add an option in the sort dropdown, something like:

  • Military expenditure (absolute change)
  • Military expenditure (relative change)
