Order of bars within a data set

The previous section explained how to adjust the order of the data sets. The order of the individual columns within a particular data set is determined by the order they are entered in the data table.

To reverse the row order on a data table, go to the data table. From the Change section in the toolbar, click the Sort button, and choose "Reverse row order".
