Pie charts are almost always a poor way to show information.

For what you're suggesting a horizontal thermometer shape might work, as that would make the historical order more obvious

They are poor for showing relative proportion. In this application they would be fine since it would only be ancillary info that doesn't need to be scrutinized.
