What's wrong with the figure?

Unfortunately, Mind-reading toolbox has not been released yet, so you will have to explicitly state what problem you are facing.

[John D'Errico]

I have been told the mind reading toolbox is currently in only alpha release, but that it may be released soon. Unfortunately, all of the testers who have tried it have been absorbed into the matrix, never to be seen again, so TMW is having a difficult time finding new testers.

Until then, we are left with the MATLAB crystal ball or the MATLAB tarot cards, both of which have been notoriously fickle over the years.

[Walter Roberson]

It's true. No-one has seen me physically for the last decade.

[Alexander]

I don't need a "mind reading toolbox", I only want to have a button: "Do what I want, you know whot I mean".

Based on your question's subject header, it can be stated that what you see in your plot is correct:

% You are trying to get a correct plot of x vs. y variables, which are x in
% an ascending order and y is in a descending order.
% Wht you are getting is correct.
x = [1 2 3 4 5]; 
y = [10 8 6 4 2]; 
plot(x, y); 
xlabel('X-axis'); 
ylabel('Y-axis'); 
title('Example Line Plot');

% If you want to plot both x and y in an ascending order then, use this
% command for y:
y=sort(y, 'ascend')

y = 1×5

2 4 6 8 10

figure
plot(x, y)
xlabel('X-axis')
ylabel('Y-axis') 
title('Example Line Plot')

% if you want to display x y values as given, then use xticks and
% xticklabels, yticks and yticklabels
figure
plot(x, y, 'ro--'); 
xticks(x)
xticklabels({'1', '2', '3', '4', '5'})
yticks(y)
yticklabels({'2', '4', '6', '8', '10'})
xlabel('X-axis') 
ylabel('Y-axis') 
title('Example Line Plot')
