How to customize charts in RTF for BI Publisher

Question

Hello Experts
How can an existing chart in RTF template be customized ?
Can I change the properties of a chart such that values along the Y-axis in the chart are displayed in the reverse order ?
Thanks in Advance.

Hello Rainer
I've tried what you told but I was only able to sort the values on the X-axis but not the Y-axis. The following is my XML definition of the chart. Can you please let me know where can I add the tag order="descending" in my definition.
X-axis has the values of 'ACTIVITY DATE' and
Y-axis has the values of 'SALES'
chart:
<Graph graphType="LINE_VERT_ABS" seriesEffect="SE_AUTO_GRADIENT"><LegendArea visible="false"/>
<Title text="" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>
<LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'ACTIVITY_DATE1'))}" rowCount="1">
<ColLabels>
<xsl:for-each-group xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" select=".//ROW" group-by="ACTIVITY_DATE1">
<xsl:sort select="current-group()/ACTIVITY_DATE1"/>
<Label>
<xsl:value-of select="current-group()/ACTIVITY_DATE1"/>
</Label>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</ColLabels>
<DataValues>
<RowData>
<xsl:for-each-group xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" select=".//ROW" group-by="ACTIVITY_DATE1">
<xsl:sort select="current-group()/ACTIVITY_DATE1"/>
<Cell>
<xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/SALES)"/>
</Cell>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowData>
</DataValues>
</LocalGridData>
</Graph>
Thanks in advance
