The chart is created using the information shown in the Data tab (the bottom panel). In the Data tab you can sort the columns, group data to view a sum total value for each group, and reorder the columns shown.
You can sort the data by clicking on the column headers.
Apply sorting to multiple columns in the list by holding the SHIFT key and click more than one column header. This will then sort the data, in the order that you selected each of the columns.
Click on the image above to view a sample of multiple sorting. Sorted first on staff member, secondly on office.
