I need the order of the bars to be from lowest retail_cost to highest retail_cost and not sorted by country name. The graph is needed in the same format just a diffenent sort order.

GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST
ACROSS COUNTRY
END

then you gotta do a little work to earn your paycheck.
figure out the top 10 in a fex paragraph BEFORE the GRAPH FILE paragraph, and write your COLUMNS line dynamically.
TABLE FILE CAR
BY HIGHEST TOTAL SALES NOPRINT BY COUNTRY ON TABLE SAVE AS MYCOUNTRY
END
-RUN
-SET &HOWMANY = &LINES;
-SET &KOUNTER = 0 ;
GRAPH FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST ACROSS COUNTRY
COLUMNS
-REPEAT end.loop &HOWMANY TIMES
-SET &KOUNTER = &KOUNTER +1 ;
-READ MYCOUNTRY NOCLOSE &COUNTRY.A10
-SET &THING = IF &KOUNTER NE &HOWMANY THEN '''' | &COUNTRY || '''' | ' AND '
- ELSE '''' | &COUNTRY | '''' ;
&THING.EVAL
-end.loop
END
-* make SURE you put a space after the word COLUMNS
I think, if i recall correctly, that NOPRINT won't work in GRAPH FILE
so ACROSS someSalesRank NOPRINT ACROSS COUNTRY
won't work although it would seem the obvious thing for TABLE FILE. so that's why you have to jump thru this hoop. but its easy enough. I think T taught me this, or Francis, some years ago when i had the same issue.

Merry Christmas...i'm so outa here!

It just helped me on 9/20/2013... LOL In regards to how to sort by the columns. Your example worked like a charm with my graph!
