    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

    RE: Custom order for legend

    Yes!! Yes!! Please implement. Also agree this would fix quite a bit of the sorting issues we see in PBI today.

    the way you can do this in other BI tools it to have a Dual () function in the load process or to have a sorting function as part of the visualization. it would be great if Power BI had this same kind of functionality

    RE: Custom order for legend

    While we wait for this feature, has anyone figured a workaround? Other than changing the labels of course.

    Or sort by a field that is not in the visualization.

    This is one of the items stopping me from switching to Power BI

    RE: Custom order for legend

    Come on Power BI team - this is very basic missing functionality!

    We need to be able to stack Revenue in a given week, but we want the recognised revenue at the bottom and forecast at the top.

    RE: Custom order for legend

    Visuals should have a custom sort option on multiple columns. Sometimes I want to decide how to sort data and not use natural sorting.

    I am doing a NPS report and will be good to do a leaderboard sort by NPS then RR.
