Hi,

I have some old txt data that loads ok but displays the start date (oldest date in the data series) on the RHS of the chart instead of the LHS of the chart. When you view the txt files the newest ticks are at the top (D, O, H, L, C, V) and the oldest tick is at the bottom of the files.

My question; is there an easy way to flip charts plotted this way so that the newest data is displayed on the RHS of the chart as you would expect. A software fix would be much easier than me writing code to reverse the way the data is stored in the txt/csv files.

Sample file data below;
2015-11-20,79.35,80.23,78.91,79.83,2950800
2015-11-19,78.59,79.18,78.16,79.14,3267700
2015-11-18,76.47,78.25,76.38,77.84,3150700
2015-11-17,75.99,77.07,75.58,77.07,2930800
2015-11-16,74.64,75.52,74.63,74.78,2114200
2015-11-13,75.66,76.19,75.03,75.76,2885000
2015-11-12,75.60,77.69,75.52,77.40,2560500
2015-11-11,74.85,76.29,74.85,76.00,2720000

Thanks for your help & Regards

You need to reverse the order. We recommend loading the data into a spreadsheet program, and sorting the rows so they are ascending timewise.
