Default Display order of Bar Chart

That is not how Excel behaves; when the data is in rows, the first category
of the first row is at the bottom of the bar chart and so on, regardless of
the y-values
best wishes

How do I get a bar chart to display my data in the order I created it
rather
then in a sort ascending or descending order. I created my vertical axis
categories in the exact order I want the bar chart to display the data
however, when the chart is created is rearranged into ascending order of
the
data not in the order of the categories as I developed it.
