Reverse legend order sequence in Qlik Sense Bar chart (stacked)

Attachments

Currently, there is not much flexibility to change the legend order if we use multiple measures (master measures) in a Qlik Sense Bar chart. For instance, the pain point highlighted by Finance business users is that, specifically in a stacked bar chart where they want to see the bar stacks in a specific order (not alphabetic) and with a specific color (achieved by using a Master measure with the required color for each stack in a bar), the order of stacks within the bar is opposite to the legends; that is, the legend sequence seems to be opposite to the stacks within that bar: meaning that the bottom-most stack becomes the first legend and so on.

Hence the ask from user is to have flexibility in changing the legend sequence so that it can be matched with the stacks within the bar specifically when we use master measures in order to achieve custom order and custom colors based on user requirements.

We feel that this can be achieved by using some setting that can reverse the legend order so that it can match the stacks inside the bar, that is, the bottom-most stack becomes the last legend and not the first.

Thank you all for your feedback on ways to improve our product. While this is something we understand would be useful, it's not on the short-term roadmap. Please continue to show your support for this idea by commenting and liking.

Meanwhile, there is a workaround using dual, the numeric value sets the order see sheet "legend order" https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-Sense-Documents/Top-10-Viz-tips-2020-part-IV/ta-p/1769697
