For the lens visualization, i am not able to define my own axis name for the horizontal-axis (Y-axis given its horizontal bar graph). Instead, the axis inherits the highest child in order in my side panel.

So in this case, since "Most Overshot Value (mm)" is first item, the graph inherits this label name as my axis name. I dont want it this way, can there be improvement to this functionality in future release of Kibana?
