Sorting stacked bar chart legend

Hi community!

 

For stacked bar chart, how can I sorting legend based on value?

You could change the order of the legend (and thereby the order of the stacked bar chart) by means of a sort-by column:

Does that do the job for you? If you really want to sort by the value, I could imagine calculating the sort-by column - but it would still be the same order for each year.

@n_n afaik, I don't think there is a way to sort the legend. May be you want to put this as an idea on ideas forum or vote if idea already exists.
