I assume you want highest to lowest y-variable, loan_amount.

Difficult to answer without example data but something like this should work, using reorder. Also geom_col = less typing.

ggplot(kiva, 
       aes(reorder(repayment_interval, -loan_amount), loan_amount), 
           fill = repayment_interval)) + 
geom_col() +
ggtitle("Total of loan for different types of repayment intervals")
