MATLAB: How to put strings on the x axes

barcellcharnumberplotstringx axes

Hello,
I want to plot types of methods vs their corresponding numbers. That is, X axes will be string and Y axes will be numbers. Currently, my matrix is cell as below:
neworder =
    'N2'            [0.1700]
    'HC'            [0.1700]
    'SAGD'          [0.1800]
    'Steamflood'    [0.4500]
    'CSS'           [0.4500]
    'hot Water'     [0.4500]
    'CO2'           [0.5100]
    'Polymer'       [0.6300]
    'ASP'           [0.6300]
    'Combustion'    [0.6500]
I tried to plot string vs. numbers. It didn't work out. Basically, my X axes is the first column and Y axes is the second column.
Thank you,
