Sort bars in a chart in descending order

Hi 

 

I'm new to Power BI report builder. I have a bar chart and I want it sorted from from highest to lowest value - can anyone assist?

If you click on your chart in design view to bring up the chart data fly out then click on the arrow next to the category grouping and go into it's properties

You can then change the sorting of the categories to use the numeric field in your dataset instead of just sorting the categories alphabetically
