Good question. It’s very easy. Right-click on the middle/center of the chart. Go to Select Data. In this window, you’ll see a list of categories included in the chart. (For this fictional dataset, the list would read Organization A, Organization B, and so on.) Use the up and down arrows to rearrange the list of categories. *The important line that should be on top, a.k.a. the one that should overlapp all the others, goes on the bottom of this category list.*

Thank you for the excellent write up. In my chart, the line that I would like to highlight ends up being overlapped by other lines. Is there a way to make the line of interest the one that overlaps?
Thanks,
HW

I really like the approach of “get naked, then get meaningful.” (Realizing that, out of context, that could be a very dangerous phrase.)
