Animate Chart Bars from Left to Right

I want to animate a bar chart, but I would like for the bars to animate from left to right. As of right now, they all go at the same time.

How can I achieve that?

$(function() {
  $("#bars li .bar").each(function() {
    var percentage = $(this).data('percentage');

    $(this).animate({
      'height': percentage + '%'
    }, 1000);
  });
});

You can adjust the time based on the index so the rightermost bars take longer to animate.

$("#bars li .bar").each( function( index ) {
    var percentage = $(this).data('percentage');
    console.log(percentage)
    $(this).animate({
      'height' : percentage + '%'
    }, 1000 + index * 500);
});

$(function() {
  $("#bars li .bar").each( function( index ) {
    var percentage = $(this).data('percentage');
    $(this).animate({
      'height' : percentage + '%'
    }, 1000 + index * 500);
  });
});

To wait for the previous animation to finish, the delay can be calculated using the index.

$("#bars li .bar").each( function( index ) {
    var percentage = $(this).data('percentage');
    console.log(percentage)
    $(this).delay(index * 1000).animate({
      'height' : percentage + '%'
    }, 1000);
});

$(function() {
  $("#bars li .bar").each( function( index ) {
    var percentage = $(this).data('percentage');
    $(this).delay(index * 1000).animate({
      'height' : percentage + '%'
    }, 1000);
  });
});
