Order
In addition to duration and rate of change, the order of how things are pre-
sented can be used as a visual variable. Rather than present data in the order
they actually happened, you can reorganize data presentation by value. For
example, the countries that have earned more than 50 gold medals in the
history of the modern Olympics might be shown in descending order based
on how many gold medals their athletes have won, beginning with those
countries that have earned the most gold medals (see Figure10.4).
