Is there a way to sort a Condition column in the Boxplot node? I have boxplots of distributions of a metric for categories that are identified as letters of the alphabet. When the boxplots are displayed, the horizontal axis shows the categorical variable values in a seemingly random order. I would like to sort them alphabetically along that horizontal axis.
I haven’t tested this, but see if it helps. BTW - which Boxplot node are you using?
I spent a little time testing a few things. See if this helps. I have no explanation why the box plot nodes work like they do although the sorting problem seems pretty long standing.

I appreciate the effort but the java script does not quite do it. No worries, I’ll just use a python script.
I agree; the Javascript isn’t great. Try this. New echarts node. You can remove the Column Resorter node.

Did the echarts node work for you?

I just stumbled over this issue myself (having tried the Sorter on the category column without success). The team working on the view nodes told me that the order comes from the domain order and is now aware of the usability issue.
So, editing the domain order reorders the boxes:
