I should be able to order the "legend" and the values for each legend category in a stacked bar chart. This is similar to "series order" feature in Excel

RE: Custom order for legend

the option to custom sort multiple columns in a table would be very helpful.

RE: Custom order for legend

Please add this feature. This is somewhat a basic feature for all stacked charts.

RE: Custom order for legend

Please add this feature! It seems like a very basic function that should be available out of the box.

RE: Custom order for legend

I genuinely don't see how such a basic and widely requested feature can be so overlooked. You should have to go through the rigmarole of setting up measures, or ranking by other tables. A simple drop down that allows you to drag fields to the desired order would be more than enough.

please add this feature....
stacks are currently in alphabetical order... but that does not fit the requirement I have in my charts.
I want the stacks to be arranged the way the data is in the cells.

RE: Custom order for legend
