EventData sorting order

I’m testing some the analytics API (in this case, seeing when people quit a tutorial - indicated by an index number) but I’m confused how to the data is being displayed. When you select the eventData option you can apparently choose to view it as a number or a string (at least that’s how I’m reading it).

When viewing the data as an number (‘#’, in green) it only allows for count/total option. In the example below, the lone green bar just gives the total 7 occurrences where this happened.

When viewing the data as a string (‘A’, in blue) it breaks them down into the eventData references (i.e. the step index: 0, 1, 2, 3 etc)

So two questions:

  • Why can I not get the eventData references itemised when they are displayed as numbers (#)?
  • Why is the sorting order of the eventData references 0, 2, 1, 3 when displayed as strings (A)? I would have expected this to go ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, no?

@HART_SB Did you change your code after you sent events? Did you send the parameters as both string and numeric? Is this for legacy Analytics? You may be correct but no changes or bug fixes are expected for this service, you would be advised to move to the Analytics beta https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408915768724-General-FAQ

Hi, no code changes I can think of. The parameters were sent as an integer. It is for Legacy Analytics but I went with that for now as it was free and I thought it was still somewhat supported. I’ll check out Beta now though. Thanks.
