I can't get my graph to sort the % the same as in my data

ITEM A 75%
ITEM B 60%
ITEM C 50%

My graph shows the items from smallest to largest at the bottom, yet my data is arranged from largest to smallest.

Can someone please assist me here.

Office 2010 running on windows 10

Which chart are you using currently i.e. Bar Chart of Pie Chart

Select the data and short the same A-Z or Z-A, there shouldn't be any issue in Office 2010

Bar charts default to having series 1, the first category, at the lowest point of the vertical axis. To change this, select the chart's vertical axis and, in the format options, check the box next to "Categories in reverse order".
