Tooltips displayed in random order, can this be fixed?

I have a simple Column chart that shows one value, but with several others as tooltips. But the ORDER in which those tooltips are shown when you hover over a column is NOT the same as the order they are specified in the chart setup. 

Tooltips are: A, B, and C. 

When you hover over the column, you get: The Axis slice, The Value, C, A, B.

 

Further, if it is a "Line and Clustered Column chart" you only get tooltips if you hover over the COLUMN, you get no tooltips if you hover over the LINE.

@ToddChitt you can create custom tooltip page, also it should show tooltip when hover over line, not sure why it is not showing.

Sorry, I don't accept the solution. Yes, I know you CAN, but that doesn't fix the original problem, which I see as a BUG.

 

Further, you have no control over the formatting of the tooltips like you can for numeric columns in a table. 

For example, my Measures need to be accurate down to $.01, but I would like to display only the whole dollar amounts in the tooltips (again, in the native Tooltips area, not a custom tooltip page). The only way I see to do that is to have a secondary measure that is the same as the first, and formatted to dollars, not cents.
