Rick,

Please feel free to make a feature request to that effect, and we will see if we can accomodate. I think the current behavior stems from xamWebChart's origins in WPF where it would be most normal to bind to a DataTable, with a column for each series. The alignment requirements for the data are much more apparent when you consider this use case, or if you consider the case where you have a collection of "Row" objects, that have a property for each series to act as the single data source for all series in the chart.

However in silverlight, since your easiest option is to bind to collections, it becomes less evident why the chart essentially expects that data to be tabular. It would be unwise for us to unequivocally try to assert that the data were properly aligned and ordered for all series, as in the case where this was asserted by the application before binding, we would be wasting processing time for naught. But it should be possible to add a feature where the developer can indicate that the data may need to be reordered, if so desired.

I understand. However, I would argue that the chart should fill in those gaps for you.

Thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated.
