    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

    Yep. This is an essential feature. Surprised its taken 4.5 years and we still can't have this.

    My actuaries and accountants cannot mentally handle graphs where the legend is not ordered by their corresponding sequence of occurance along the x axis. This seems like a relatively easy fix.

    RE: Custom order for legend

    I want to be able to order (Blank) last. Also to be able to group or recategorize (Blank). But for now since that options doesn't exist the workaround is to allow (Blank) and I would hope to put (Blank) last.

    My boss, coworkers, etc, think it funny when I make a report where the is in order by:
    Patch Set 7, Patch Set 6, Patch Set 4, Patch Set 3, , Patch Set 5, Patch Set 1 and , Patch Set 2. They ask me why I can't put them in the correct order.
