Custom Data Labels on Bar Chart have order inverted

New here so please direct me if there's a better place to ask this or it is already solved. 

 

I am using a 100% stacked column chart to show weekly status of different projects, sorted into 12 categories. The categories are sorted by an index. 

 

With standard data labels, I am able to correctly display that for example 10% of projects are in the first category, and 50% of projects are in the last category. 

 

I want to use custom data labels to show that e.g. 5 projects are in the first category, and 25 projects are in the last category. But, when implementing this with Custom Data Labels, it gets the order wrong, and displays inverted numbers for each - 25 projects in first category and 5 projects in last category. The bars on the chart do not change, it is just the data labels that are incorrectly ordered. 

 

In the picture below, the label on the purple category should be on the lower green category. Additionally some of them incorrectly show percentages rather than values. Is there a solution to this inverted and inconsistent labelling?

I have the very same problem using custom labels and reverted stack columns, I've tried everything! I think this could be a bug since I found no solution.

 

Thanks for bringing this up!
