Sort legend by size of values

Hi all,

I have multiple stakced column charts in my powerBI report, and depending on the view the number of items in the legend is quite large (cannot be seen at once). However, I have the issue that I can only sort the legend by alphabet (ascending or descending), but what I would really love to have is a sorting by size/ importance. 

For example currently, the largest items are category F, L and S and they by far overpower the other items in the legend --> but theynever appear on the first view of the legend, no matter whether I sort it ascending or descending. Therefore reading the visual becomes very tough...

Is there a way to sort the legend such that dynamically, the largest items are shown first?
