Is it possible to position Highcharts dataLabels depending on the value?

Question

I\'m using Highcharts to display a bar chart, with 2 bars overlaying each other, and a dataLabels at the right of them, displaying the exact value.

The problem here

Answer 1

I've been trying to figure some of this out myself... it looks like instead of

this.series.chart.options.plotOptions.bar.dataLabels.x -= 20;

could you use...

this.series.options.dataLabels.x = -20;

... at this point I'm trying to understand if I'm able to discern the location of a dataLabel so that I can reposition it if necessary.
