Custom order for legend

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

Yes, please. Ordered alphabetically sometimes does not make much sense. It'll be appreciated if the order of the column/row label of table or matrix could be customised as well, just like Excel does.

Can we get a similar function to Custom Sort Order just like Excel does it. This will fix quite a bit of the sorting issues we currently see in Power BI today. For Example: By Day of Week - Sunday to Saturday, Sun to Sat, etc By Month of Year - January to December, Jan to Dec. Give them a dialog or other options to control the order manually.

This is a must.

I tried to solve this issue by creating a table with Legend elements in a column and another column, and then ordering elements in Legend by other column, but I defined that column in terms of the Legend column (CALCULATE, ALLEXCEPT AND SUM), so Power BI refused to change the Sort (thus avoiding some sort of loop). Having this feature would definitely make it easier.

waterfall charts currently only sort by category. Need to have the ability to sort by the measure, as is present in column reports.
