how to change the order of plots?

Hello,

I have a following code

figure(3)
colororder({'b','r'})
yyaxis left
bar(horizon2,data2(:,2),1,'FaceColor',[1 1 1],'EdgeColor','b','LineWidth',2)
hold on
bar(horizon3,data3(:,2),1,'FaceColor',[1 1 1],'EdgeColor','g','LineWidth',2)
hold on
%,'FaceAlpha',0.6
xlabel('Thousands of dollars')
% 2007m12 
grid on
yyaxis right
bar(horizon1,data1(:,4),1,'FaceColor',[1 1 1],'EdgeColor','r','LineWidth',2)

then I have a graph as follows

But I want to have green plots over red and blue plots.

Is there anyway I could do this?

Thank you

As of the current Matlab release (R2021b), it is not possible to control the uistack of objects on different sides of a yyaxis. Objects assigned to the right axis will always be on top.

Alternative work-arounds

• Move the red bars to the left y-axis and the green/blue bars to the right axis.
• Use plotyy instead (but yyaxis is still much better). See this answer.
• Use transparency to see overlapping bars. See FaceAlpha and EdgeAlpha properties of bar objects.
