Stacked Area Chart Sort is reversed from what is should be

[Anonymous]

When sorting a stacked area chart is PowerBI Desktop, the series' order and the legend order are always opposite to each other, whether you click Ascending or Descending. To make proper analytic use of this graph they need to be in the same order.

And yes I'm using the latest version, and no there is no fix 1 year after it said this was going to be fixed. Please fix this problem.

Also it is not a limitation of the software, this is false. This fix is about as easy a task for a software producer to fix as you will ever see requested in these types of forums.

Thanks for the comments, Swooze1248. Yes, Microsoft needs to prioritise this issue higher, it is NOT fixed yet, if it is, please share instructions on how we can get this to work.

is fixed with an option switch

Format Visual --> Lines --> Colors --> Reverse Stack order --> set to ON 

also fixed for stacked column charts

Format Visual --> Columns --> Colors --> Reverse Stack order --> set to ON

@UOLandrewdale Hi, do you know why my reverse order switch is just not working? I am unable to switch that on

sorry, no idea, it is working for me, 

but I am on the September 2023 version

looks like the control has been moved to "Layout" from "Colors"

Also noticed that "Colors" has been renamed "Color"

I am using the July 2024 version
