Ok, looks like I found a way to get what I want. Kibana is just showing whatever it gets from ES, and the default for histograms is to sort by key ascending. Luckily the Histogram aggregation supports the `order` setting with the same functionality as the Terms aggregation, and Kibana lets you add custom JSON to the aggregation. So, my solution is to add `{"order": {"_key": "desc"}}` in the "JSON input" field: ![Screenshot 2020-04-21 at 11.11.16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/e/fea24499d7521b0d785acd36166f66d297779649.png) Note that it might still not work fully as intended unless "Show empty buckets" is selected and "Extended bounds" are specified, depending on how the data comes in. But that's a separate [bug](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/11109). (@flash1293 Do you think you could add a link to this "solution" to the [original topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/heat-map-y-axis-reverse-order/117685)?
