Description
This feature request is to add the geometric mean for ordering/sorting in the categorical axes type.
In particular the addition of "geomean ascending"
and "geomean descending"
to categoryorder
is requested.
The geometric mean is useful since when visualizing/sorting data on a log scale, the arithmetic mean can be very skewed. For larger scales like the log scale having a categorical sort on the geometric mean can provide a better ordering scheme.
