    Hi, ChristianCaz 

    If you want to customize the sort order of the legend, then you can create a calculated column and use this column to sort. Here's a reference:

    I have the following chart, the default sort is A, B, C:

    I created a calculated column with a custom order using the following DAX:

    sort column = SWITCH('Table'[Type],
        "A",3,
        "B",1,
        "C",2
    )

    I copied the Type column with the following DAX:

    Sort the Type copy columns according to the following image:

    Put the Type copy column in the legend of the chart:

    You can use your rank column to sort your legend columns. Keep in mind, however, that a legend corresponds to a unique ranking. In my example, I have two rows Type=A, both of which rank 3.

    If there are two different rankings corresponding to legend A, an error will be reported.
