Sorting graphs numerically instead of alphabetically

I have created a graph in Stata and I want to sort the items numerically. I want the countries with the greatest subnational revenue to be at the top. (Canada would be at the top if sorted numerically.)

At the moment, I can only get the items to sort alphabetically. As you can see, Afghanistan is at the top

enter image description here

I've uploaded the graph file (.gph) to google drive here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DMlE30SsY-L6v8ulCE2OOiTEeZA00DKk/view?usp=sharing

Please take a look and let me know how I might sort my graph items numerically.
