1. sort for data table via query

   Hi,

   Current default sort for text data table charts is a little un-intuitive (at least for me). All other charts appear to respect the sort stage in the aggregation pipeline. The data table chart has a different mechanism where the user has to explicitly click on the header to define the default sort. This is counter intuitive if there is already a sort stage in the aggregation pipeline that can be interpreted as the default sort.

   I think it might make things more clear if either:

   a) Default sort ALWAYS in the sort stage of the aggregation

   b) Flag a problem when someone is using the sort in the aggregation since it won't be considered.

   There may be a good reason as to why this functions in this specific way and it IS documented (I should really read more carefully :) ). Apologies if this is nonsense in this case.

   We’ve reworked how we do sorting, and the sort for all chart types (including tables) now happens within the aggregation pipeline.

2. Allow charts to have reference field data in them

   Adding the ability to access data in reference fields to other collections and adding that data to a chart would be very helpful. For example, a collection called "delivery" has a reference field to a "client" this client has a string "title" field. It would be very useful to be able to add the client's "title" to the chart instead of just their id.
