Does anyone have a template or instructions for creating a horizontal bar graph/chart either in the Desmos Graphing Calculator or in an activity screen where students can enter their data in a table and the graph will populate on the same screen? A couple of my science teachers are in the human traits unit and their students answered 10 yes/no questions about different traits. The teachers want students to be able to enter the data and generate a graph. We envision a horizontal bar graph where each trait is listed on the left and the “yes” values make up each horizontal bar; the horizontal bars would also be is descending order. I have done multiple searches and have not found anything Desmos dealing with horizontal bar graphs. Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

This contains a workaround for sorting two list simultaneously. This could also be done with more than two lists.
Or here as an activity:

Thanks so much for this and it looks great!
Nice hack. The first link isn’t clickable, but works cut and paste. Just FYI.
Thanks for the heads up! I fixed the link.
