    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

    A nice idea. Having to do work arounds with extra columns and order by is annoying.

    Really disappointed to search all over and all there are are some weak workarounds like this: https://www.kasperonbi.com/sorting-by-a-measure-not-part-of-the-visual/

    This really needs to be addressed.

    Having to put 01, 02, 03.....12,13,14 on the front of all your names is a pain!

    Can't believe this functionality is still missing. It should be default sorting status... No workaround I found works for dynamic rankings based on other Graphs slicers...

    RE: Custom order for legend

    Its a simple request that would add just another layer of customization instead of having to do work arounds.
