How to flip two columns in chart?

I would like to have column A is below and column B is up, now my chart shows that A is above B.

Hello @ybz12003,

 

You can control the visual layering by manipulating the order in which you add fields to the chart or by using the Sort by option.

I can't find sort axis.

You would need to select the ellipsis icon on the visual itself, then the menu would appear.

 

OR you can change the order in which you add fields.

 

Alternatively, can you please share a screenshot of the visual (with non-sentitive data visible)?

No such option when I click 

 

 

Can you try selecting the visual first then access the ellipsis (...) to sort it:

Hi,

Thanks for the solution @Sahir_Maharaj  provided, and i want to offer some more information for user to refer to.

hello @ybz12003 , as @Sahir_Maharaj  mentioned, you need to sort the chart, but first, you need to find your column name for the value A and B, e.g the column name is type, you can refer to the following picture.

Then in the visual, click the "...", then select 'sort by', select 'type' and select sort descending.
