Control order of data points in Bar chart

[CVS charter]

I have a stacked bar chart and want to have the stacks show in the
order I input them. The default seems to be low value to high value.
Does anyone know how I can force the order of the stacks in the chart?

Thanks!

The only way I know is to change the layout of the data in the datasheet.

To expand on Echo's comment, I just don't do no stinkin' charts in MS
Graph. Not sure this can be done there. But it can be done in Excel if
I understand what you are after.

Create the chart in Excel and you will get mostly what you get in MS
Grump. Select one of the axes and get to the Series order tab. You can
move up, move down and rearrange to what I think you are after.

See if that helps and let us know. I might have misread your desires
here.
