Hi!

I've got a question on _inverting_ the X-axis for a bar or area chart.

Let's say that I have a set of 10 numeric terms, as below:

```
  [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

```

I want to display the top 5 terms on the X-axis, with the largest to the right.  
If I choose `Order by: Term`, `Order: Descending` and `Size: 5`, I will get the X-axis as

```
  -10-9-8-7-6-

```

.. can in some way invert the axis, to get

```
  -6-7-8-9-10-

```

?

I'm using Kibana 4.5.0

Thanks!

Hi @default,

I don't think this is possible in Kibana 4.5.0, unfortunately. But more chart customization is certainly something we intend to do.
