    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

    Update 10/17: This is now in our upcoming roadmap and we will share more details in the coming months. Mo

    Thanks for the feedback. Vote to keep updated on progress for this item.

    February 2022 and still have to struggle with workarounds for this very basic and simple feature. This is MICROSOFT PowerBI, not an open source fan project.

    Absolutely needed.


    And while you are at it, please also allow to define a custom color for each value in a dimension that is then used in bar charts on the legend, throughout the report, without having to adjust each visual.


    Thanks,


    Robert

    RE: Custom order for legend

    This is extremely important, I have reports I can't move into powerbi cause I can't order the buckets in the legend and the seemingly random chosen isn't readable.

    Sort by value please!! Small multiples already has that feature, why not legend?

    The related suggestion for correcting the default sort order needs more votes, for those who are interested: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=b1363cc1-0810-462d-8801-0e64973751c7
