Hello,

I have a simple question. I have created a Horizontal Bar Chart (would apply to vertical chart as well) in Kibana(v7.1.1).

By default, the bars start from left and go to right. What I mean is the Y Axis is at the bottom and X Axis is at the left. I was wanting to flip that, so instead my bars would start from right and go to left. This means the Y Axis still remains at the bottom, but X Axis is at the right.

I know it is possible to position the Labels. I have positioned the Labels to be on the right. This does not move the starting position of the bars themselves.

Do you think this is possible?

Thank You,  
Darshak
