Custom order for legend

[krishnas]

I should be able to order the "legend" and the values for each legend category in a stacked bar chart. This is similar to "series order" feature in Excel

Hi, Yes, I think this is good feature to have because let me give example, I have bar graph with Actual and Forecast values. Now If I want to show Forecast bar before Actual, so that we visualize how is company’s achievement against forecast. I am not able to change order of bar/legends.

I would like the feature so that I can sort survey response categories (for example: Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree)

[Willem_daling]

Yes please!

It would very helpful if when working in the data modeling that we could rearrange the ordering of the Fields displayed in the right pane.

So much of this. As Anne said, sometimes we don't want it in alphabetical order...

One work-around is to name the items in the legend with an appropriate number of blank spaces, so that when Power BI alphabetizes them, the leading spaces determine the order. So your categories could be: " Strongly Agree" " Agree" " Disagree" "Strongly Disagree"

This feature would be handy when reporting in terms of months, especially month-to-date reporting. Currently, I added an additional column and gave each month a numerical value (Jan-1, Feb-2, etc), and then hid the numerical column once sorted. This step is unnecessary and inefficient. Another option would be to include the numerical value in the name of the month ("1-January", "2-February", etc.). This option is redundant and aesthetically unpleasing. Just a thought!

This is another example of a Power BI shortcoming that keeps sending me back to Tableau.

Yes custom sort order is absolutely essential! For instance I have categories Research, Analyze, Develop which should display in that order.

Strongly agreed.
