[***Important***] Sorting not alphabetical order in bar chart visuals

I would like to make a bar chart that sort convenience in this order: "Very Convenient", "Convenient", "Neutral", "Inconvenient","Very Inconvenient"(in term of the extent). However, when i sort the visuals, it only allow sort in the # of each category or in term of convenience, but the latter one is sorted in Alphabetical order. I have tried to add a numeric column but it seems that then the x-axis label only show the number. I want exactly "Very Convenient", "Convenient", "Neutral", "Inconvenient","Very Inconvenient", instead of having number in the final visuals before the convenience text. Do anyone know how to solve this issue? Many thanks.

After you add the numeric column you then sort your original column by the new column.
