    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

    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.

    Although Microsoft don't provide any guidance on this, it is possible by following the steps described here:
