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

I thougth it would have been solved by now. We still need it, Microsoft! And should be something easy to be added. :)

RE: Custom order for legend

Why has this not been done yet? I just saw last months update - this is way more important than some of those features.

RE: Custom order for legend

This is a huge priority. Power BI's vertically oriented legends place the categories in the opposite order that they appear in the data bars. This makes data interpretation needlessly difficult. Creating custom sorts for the legend does not appear to resolve this issue, as Power BI will always orient the data bars in the opposite order of the legend.
