1. A method comprising: receiving a dataset including a plurality of data objects having a plurality of data object attributes; selecting a stored data object attribute criterion based on a type of the data objects of the received dataset, the stored data object attribute criterion including: data identifying a subset of the plurality of data object attributes to be presented on a second axis; data defining an order of precedence for the subset of the plurality of data object attributes when presented on the second axis; at least one data object ranking rule that ranks data objects for a ranked presentation on a first axis, the ranking performed according to values of at least one of the identified data object attributes included in the at least one data object ranking rule; generating a view of the plurality of data objects within a user interface on a display device, the view including: a representation of at least a subset of the plurality of data objects along a first axis with data objects positioned in proximity to a first pole of the first axis based on a ranking of the data objects performed according to the at least one data object ranking rule of the data object attribute criterion; a representation of the subset of the plurality of data object attributes presented in an order along the second axis in proximity to a first pole of the second axis according to the data identifying the subset of and the data identifying the order of precedence for the data object attributes of the data object attribute criterion; and wherein: the first pole of the first axis and the first pole of the second axis are identified in a precedence configuration setting consumed by the user interface; and the selected data object attribute criterion and the precedence configuration setting are stored in at least one data structure independent of data of the plurality of data objects.
