# X-axis customizations

## 1. Label customizations

#### 1.1. X-axis position

You can change the position of the x-axis. It can be positioned at the top or the bottom.

In trellis mode, you have additional options like Frozen bottom row/Frozen top row/ First chart only/ Bottom row/ Top row, etc.

A few pre-conditions need to be met to enable the x-axis position option in trellis mode:

* Axis sorting should be set to native
* TopN ranking should not be applied
