Bar chart sort order of text label

Dear Community,

 

I hope you can help me with my problem:

I have a Bar Chart that shows me Differences in % (y-axis) of several countries (x-axis). I have one chart for each value I want to see the differences. However, the bar chart is always sortet from the highest to the lowest difference, what doesn't make sense in my comparisons as the country labels switch. Is it possible to fix the labels so that e.g. Country 1 is always the first bar, Country 2 the second bar and so on?

 

Looking forward to your help and suggestions.

 

Best regards

Manuel

@Manuel123 , You can sort a bar visual on Axis columns too. You can get option in three dots 

 

Also, you can option, show item with no data, so country always appears
