Default Graph - Display Y axis data at top of chart(?)

Hello. I want to generate a gantt type chart (stacked bar) with months (Jan
- Dec) at the Y axis. I want the values to display at the top of the chart as
opposed to the bottom. Can this be done? I've played around a bit with my
data columns but haven't been able to crack the code. Any help, is as
always, certainly appreciated.

The "official" way would be to double click the vertical axis (which
presumably shows the task names), and on the Scale tab, change the setting
for Value (Y) Axis Crosses At and for Categories in Reverse Order.
