Steps to change the order of slices in pie chart in Excel. 

• Option 1 Rotate the pie chart

Generally, the order of slices in the pie chart corresponds to the order of source data. And we can alter the order of slices by rotating the chart for different perspectives.

1. Click Chart Tools> Format. In the pane on the right, click the CHART OPTIONS drop-down button, and select Series 1.

2. Select SERIES and you can adjust the Angle of first slice by dragging the slider to reorder the slices as needed. Alternatively, you can directly enter the number to rotate the pie.

• Option 2 Change the order of source data

Normally, a pie chart is more visualized if the slices are sorted from the smallest to the largest. In this table, for example, the source data is not sorted in ascending or descending order, thus the slices in the pie chart are not sorted in corresponding order.

1. Select the range of data you want to sort, and head to the Data tab. Click the Sort drop-down button and select the desired sorting method, for instance, Ascending here.

Then, the layout of slices in the pie chart will change along with the order of source data.
