@Ovilia Thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain myself again with pictures. Hopefully this will make things clearer. Here is a picture of what we want to achieve:  😁 ✔️ This picture is created with different charting software (not ECharts 😞). To recreate this with ECharts we might do something like this: ```js color: ['#00e396', '#bd2b41'], series: [ { name: 'Positive reviews', stack: 'reviews', }, { name: 'Negative reviews', stack: 'reviews', }, ], ``` This creates the following chart:  🤔 ❌ Notice that the stacking order is wrong: we want the positive series (green `#00e396`) ***above*** the negative series (red `#bd2b41`). Currently, the only way to do this is to **redefine the order** the series are declared in (which also means we need to swap the colour definition order), like this: ```js color: ['#bd2b41', '#00e396'], series: [ { name: 'Negative reviews', stack: 'reviews', }, { name: 'Positive reviews', stack: 'reviews', }, ], ``` This creates the following chart:  😫 ❌ This fixes the stacking order of the line series, but it causes the **legend** and **tooltip** to reverse order, which we do not want. We can fix the tooltip by asking it to also reverse its order as follows (or by writing a custom formatter). ``` tooltip: { order: 'seriesDesc', }, ```  😩💨 ❌ But this still leaves the legend order being the opposite of what we want and there is **no way to reverse the legend order**. --- All this brings me back to my point: I could request that you add a way to **reverse the legend order**, but I don't think it's a good solution. All we wanted to do was **reverse the stacking order** of the lines series, so it would be better to have an option to just do that **without changing the series declaration order**, which causes all other components' behaviour to change in ways that we do not want. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
