    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

    Having the default order of the legend be the opposite of how it looks in the visual makes no sense in the first place, and to be unable to change this is HUGE problem for effectively using stacked column charts.

    So, do you at least work on it? Is it part of any future release plan?

    Tableau can do that, don't make us switch

    4 years and counting :O

    This is one of the basic requirements when putting together a chart and given that it is available in Excel, the question asked always is, why is not available in Power BI if both are Microsoft products.

    The workarounds are not very useful and very time consuming.
