Hello everyone,

I would like to understand how does bars charts are working with the ordering of the values we input because I have this example which doesn't seems logic to me:

 ![RTENOT](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/0/c092665f545eb47970da00a257e3b89dfadf409c.png)  
For the client RTENOT I have 11,178 hits (blue bar)  
 ![MITTO](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/7/57b124b423a6159dae4d86dcc1dc1c14409f8e0e.png)  
For the MITTO client I have 24 hits (brown bar), but the bar that define it is almost the same size than for the RTENOT client. The green bar just abose the brown one has 97 hits but is smaller than the brown bar with 24 hits on the screen.

My client bucket is Ordered by : Metric Count and Order by : Descending.

Thanks in advance for letting me know how does Kibana order such values.
