When using the visualization type HeatMap, the order of the vertical axis is descending.  
How can I change it to ascending order?  
I want to set the origin coordinate to 0.

Thank you for your reply.  
I'm sorry I'm a beginner.

I don't know how to add codes.  
The screen I'm currently using for Elastic doesn't have a place to add codes or set axes.  
Where should I add codes?

Hi @maaa ,
