Help with stacked bar chart - editing legend order

I followed these instructions on an old post to create a stacked bar chart (thanks @Sean!)

 

However, now the legend is listed alphabetically, and I need it to be in order of 'agreement' (ie strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree)

 

Can anyone help with this?

hi  @Anonymous 

By the way, you'd better add a custom sort column in power query after unpivot the column. Then sort by column as above solution.
