Hi, same here - my years go from current on the left to 2000 on right hand side.(back to front)

Faced the same problem. Handled it with the help of Microsoft Docs article.
In short here are the steps:
1. Call chart menu pressing [...] button on the top right of the chart
2. Proceed to "Sort by" item
3. In submenu press "Year" item. The order should be correct now
4. If the Y-axis is shown upside-down, go to the same menu and press "Sort accending"
This worked for me.
