Sort columns in descending order after using xyseries

By default xyseries sorts the column titles in alphabetical/ascending order. How do I make it do the opposite?
I've tried using sort but it doesn't seem to work.

Try using sort - field or sort + field to control the way columns are sorted: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.0/SearchReference/Sort
