      User Problem

      There is no way to reorder the bars in a bar chart if the results set contains more than two columns, or if the first column is a date data type.

      Suggested Solution

      Add the ability to reorder the bars in all bar chart types, either by reordering the columns if there are more than two columns, or by reordering the sort by if there are only two columns and the first column is a date data type. 

      Workaround

      If you have an unstacked bar chart with only two columns, if the first column is not a date data type, you can change the sorting of the rows on the first column to adjust the order of the bars in the bar chart. However, if the first column is a date column, then sorting by date ASC or DESC does not change the order of the bars and they will still display in chronological order by default. There is not a way to reorder the rows in a bar chart that contains more than two columns, with or without the stack option selected in the chart settings.
