Default Switch order of series name and value as displayed in chart

I have a column chart with three separate columns. I want to include the
series name and the value in the chart, however I want to display the series
name after the value. Presently

Column 1 displays - Day(s)9

Column 2 displays - Day(s)5

Column 3 displays - Days(s)15

Can you tell me how I can change the chart so the series name and value will
display themselves like this?

Column 1 displays - 9 Day(s)

Column 2 displays - 5 Day(s)

Column 2 displays - 15 Day(s)

Have the data label only display value. Then, format the label, go to the
number tab, and give it a custom format of:
#" Day(s)"

Not perfect, but it'll get the desired results, and I would presume that
your series name is not going to be cosntantly changing.
