# Show Each Measure on a Separate Set of Axes

Charts that display multiple measures are sometimes hard to read. To fix that, display each measure separately.

Select **Small Multiples** from Axis Mode to separate the measures and make the chart easier to understand.

Tip While viewing the dashboard, click the title of a measure axis to sort the results. Each click cycles through the sort order options: ascending, descending, and alphabetical. You can use this method to sort all charts with measure axes, except scatterplot or charts that also have a time axis.
