Fixing an element’s position in a table
You use the IsFixed property when you want to specify that an element's position in the axis should be fixed when the table is sorted. For example:
hhsize{HH_1 [Factor=1],
  HH_2 [Factor=2],
  HH_3 [Factor=3],
  HH_4 [Factor=4],
  HH_5 [Factor = 5],
  HH_6 [Factor = 6],
  HH_7 [Factor = 7],
  Mean 'Average number' mean() [IsFixed=True]}
This example is based on the Short Drinks sample data set.
Most special elements have a fixed position for sorting by default. This means that in practice you do not need to set the property on a mean element.
