Customised colors change when report is published and again when shared

Hi Anonymous, 

I got information below from PG team: 

"For the sorting issue, the user likely changed the sort to be by Legend instead of by value.

For the colors issue - colors are assigned from the palette on a first-come, first-served basis. When the report was first being created, each column got a color from the color palette and this is memorized by data point identity so that they match across the visuals that have the same datapoints. Then some colors were manually set via the property pane. After publishing, the color application process will be slightly different, due to the timing of how datapoints are colored. When authoring the report, all columns (let's say 5 columns) are given default colors. If you then manually set column #4, and publish, the logic will be applied differently. Upon first load, shared colors are given to the first three columns, then column 4 has a user-defined color override, then color palette color #4 is given to column #5 because it hasn't been used yet.

Colors should match everywhere in most cases if you close and reopen the report.

In rare cases, some visuals load faster than others at different times, and as colors are first-come first-serve, they may change slightly if a random visual gets assigned colors first."
