Abstract
A data visualization application receives user actions to (i) associate a first data field with a first shelf and (ii) associate second and third data fields with a second shelf. The method receives an additional user action to specify a nested sort according to data for the first and third data fields. The method generates and displays a data visualization in accordance with the received actions, including: (i) partitioning retrieved data into groups of tuples, each tuple including data for the data fields, and each group of tuples corresponding to a distinct value of the second data field, (ii) forming panes, each pane corresponding to a respective group of tuples, and (iii) within each pane, displaying data marks, each data mark corresponding to a respective tuple.
