How do I adjust the command so that the columns are ordered numerically in a chart?

I am generating a basic chart with the following command:

index=test | eval latency = (_indextime - _time) | chart count by latency span=10

The order of the columns in the chart seems to be lexical so I get:

0-10,10-20,100-110,110-120, ...

How do I adjust the command so that the columns are ordered numerically?

0-10,10-20,20-30,30-40, ...

NB: there are too many bins for a solution using "rename" to be practical.

Many thanks
Graham
