[SOLVED] Can I sort the legend?

I can't find a method that allows me to sort the legend. I can sort the pie graph with setPieSorting(3) but there doesn't seem to be anything for sorting the legend so it coincides with the data. Is this possible?

Laurie,

The legend order is indeed the order in which the data is offered to the graph engine.
Hence, the only way to influence the legend order is to order the data of the report in the way you would like the legend to be.

Hope this helps ...

Is correct the only option that you have with legends is to reverse the order.
What is interesting however is that setPieSorting(3) does not arrange the pie
as described in the documentation. The example does not even match the documented
description.

This makes it very difficult to even use annotations to force your own legends.

We would like to be able to sort the legend other than alphabetical or reverse alphabetical so I will post an enhancement request for this feature.

Hello, wondering if any enhancement has been completed to sort/order legends in stacked bar graphs (VBRSTK2) further to this post?

Thanks.
