    Plotting stacked bar chart in descending order

    Dear Colleagues

    Can anyone please direct me on how to rearrange a simple stacked bar chart. I would like to rearrange the chart so the biggest values appear at the top of the chart and the smallest at the bottom for greater visual impact.

    I have enclosed a sample spreadsheet with a small graph included. I would like the data relating to Ayr (fictional, of course) to be at the top, not the bottom.

    Thank you all for looking...

    Format vertical axis. Apply these two properties to reverse stacking and keep horizontal axis labels at the bottom.

    Categories in reverse Order
    Horizontal axis crosses at Maximum
