Flipping Horizontal Bar Charts

Hello - Horizontal bar charts default to bars pointing to the right. How do
you flip them so they point to the left?

Double-click the X axis, go to the Scale tab, and check the box for reverse
order.

Well, I'd still call it the X axis, but I'm not a mathemetician or a
statistician and I'll admit I can't remember if the X axis is always used
for the horizontal axis or not or what -- it's just been too many years
since I took advanced geometry, calculus and trig. So next time I give
instructions specifically for horizontal bar charts, I'll just call it the
value axis to ensure we're all on the same page.

Perfect, except it's the Y axis for horizontal graphs. Thank you!
