Column series order - Line and stacked column chart

Hi,

 

I'm fairly new to Power Bi and i've run into a problem that i can't seem to find a solution to. 

 

I want to create a Line and stacked column chart, where the columns are seperated in 2 categories, Completed and abandoned. 

I also want a line showing how many are completed with in a certain time frame (i have that value in another data entry). 

 

But when i make the chart, it always puts abandoned on the bottom part of the column, but for this chart it would make more sense if it was on top.

 

 

So my question is, can i change the order of the values in "column series" or are they fixed in the way the data entry is made? 

 

Here is a picture of my current graph where i want to move the green part on top and the dark part on the bottom.

Hi @Drejz,

As I tested, we only can sort by Axis and Value levels, can't sort by "column series". In the visual, it orders column series from A-Z automatically.

Best Regards.

purely an off-the-cuff guess: possible the order in which you add the value to the visual design pane (on right)...  try removing the green value so it is just a singe color and then re-adding it....

Thank you for your suggestion. 

 

Unfortunately it doesn't help. It keeps the same order no matter what i do.
