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

How many votes needed?
RE: Custom order for legend
You should be able to order legend by wither draging the stacked bar portion and move it, or the legend itself. Why is this not a thing? I just had t go through a 30 min tutorial of creating relationships, new tables etc to be able to change the freaking order ? They should be changeable even from the format under data colours, just drag and move around. How can a company as rich as Microsoft have developers make a programme that is not intuitive. Can you tell I am frustrated?
RE: Custom order for legend
Add to that the ability to Wrap the legend, rather than having to page left/right to see the categorise that don't fit in the available width
RE: Custom order for legend
Any plan for this feature in 2021? This is really important for me, thanks.
RE: Custom order for legend
Simple chart designs like this need to be added to Power BI.
RE: Custom order for legend
Chart formatting is extremely poor compared to Excel. I acknowledge that responsive design has certain trade-offs, but having more controls would be extremely useful.
RE: Custom order for legend
I have some dirty hacks by suffixing legend items with 00n, for example but this really makes this chart less effective than it should be. I have to use R instead to be able to get this chart quickly given greater control - unfortunate that this has not been addressed.
RE: Custom order for legend
This is already possible using custom sort order right? Example here: https://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/reorder-powerbi-legend/
RE: Custom order for legend
This feature is really needed and useful
RE: Custom order for legend
This is very valuable feature. ... it helps readability if certain things are in chronological order. For instance, if we are tracking how many issues are there in todo, in progress, in review or completed.. .. current sort order by highest to lowest value (or count of issues in each category) is not really read-able friendly. rather, i should have an ability to sort in this sequence, todo, in progress, in review, completed.
and not only readability, it will also add a bit of random design. currently everything seems flowing from left to right, if i have some random heights in sequence, it would look better as a pure classical Manhattan graph.
Please add this feature of "Axis Sequence" and list down all legends that user can drag and drop to change order.
thanks.
