    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

    This is crucial in understanding a dashboard. It's crazy that this is not a feature in Power BI.

    Please add this!
    In the meantime I manage to workaround the issue by making a calculated column and giving the different markers names that would be in numerical order from the bottom to the top of the stacked bar chart.
    If(
    something = this;
    "1 - Name of legend to be placed on the bottom";
    "2 - Name of legend to be placed second from the bottom"
    )
    Not pretty, but it works faster than the 6 measures I had to use before.
