Thanks, I was too quick to reply trying it out.
However while this is a temporary fix we do have a need of using the other slice in this scenario. What we want do is to be able to have a sort on the values descending as these most likely are relevant. i.e. the zeros will be sorted to the bottom.
If we have a lot of data items, like when showing the chart of eg bug reports created by person X we could often wind up with a few persons with positive values but also a larger amount of persons with value 0.
This use case is mostly relevant to the facet chart (which we also use in this scenario) but we want it to be consistent for the pie as well.
Problem for us not having "other" turned on (first showing the facet to show how many users there are): http://recordit.co/EDX0n15FKp
Another clip here where I have made so that the 0 values are placed first in the data array, this time with "other" enabled. http://recordit.co/NHlMl1SJV9
This is not really a good scenario either, as the most relevant values are in the end.
