Sometimes you want to reverse a graph’s axis; for example, when looking at data about the stars, constellations often appear backward in graphs, as in this graph of Pleiades.

1.Double-click the graph to show its inspector; if necessary, go to the Properties panel.

Each axis has a property allowing you to reverse its scale, which is set to false by default.

2.Set the [axis]ReverseScale property for the axis you want by selecting true from the popup.

The horizontal (x) axis has been reversed; Pleiades is oriented correctly.
