Series.PlotOrder Property (PowerPoint)
Returns or sets the plot order for the selected series within the chart group. Read/write Long.
Version Information
Version Added: PowerPoint 2007
Syntax
expression .PlotOrder
expression A variable that represents a Chart object.
Remarks
You can set plot order only within a chart group (you cannot set the plot order for the entire chart if you have more than one chart type). A chart group is a collection of series with the same chart type.
Changing the plot order of one series will cause the plot orders of the other series in the chart group to be adjusted, as necessary.
Example
Note
Although the following code applies to Microsoft Word, you can readily modify it to apply to PowerPoint.
The following example makes series two for the first chart in the active document appear third in the plot order. You should run the example on a 2-D column chart that contains three or more series.
With ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1)
If .HasChart Then
.Chart.ChartGroups(1).SeriesCollection(2).PlotOrder = 3
End If
End With
