Some missing features I encountered while creating charts:  
- Axis sorting  
- Use text fields to group your records  
- Staggered and tilted labels (e.g. 45 degrees) for charts with a lot of grouping values  
- Vertical bar chart  
- Area chart (to complement the existing line chart)  
- Allow generated charts to be saved a PNG

One of the items requested here, Area Charts, has been as a Knack feature! You can read more about _[Area Charts](https://forums.knack.com/hc/en-us/articles/226585428-Reports#area-charts)_ and choose it as an option when adding a new report view in your Builder.

Yes, axis sorting please!. An unsorted bar chart is not very helpful.
