If you rearrange the fields in a pivot chart layout, the related pivot table changes too. Unfortunately, there's no setting you can change if you want the pivot chart and pivot table to work independently.

As a workaround, you can create a second pivot table, based on the first one, and arrange it as you’d like. Then, when you change the pivot chart, only the original pivot table is affected. You can hide the first pivot table that’s connected to the pivot chart and use the second pivot table as for printing reports.

If you require several charts based on the same pivot table, but with different layouts, create multiple pivot tables based on the original pivot table. Create one pivot chart from each of the secondary pivot tables, and rearranging one pivot chart won’t affect the others.
