Order of chart legend colours does not match the chart body

In Cognos 10.2.1 GA when producing a 'Stacked Bar Chart' using the GO Sales (Query) package if you render the report in either HTML or PDF format the order of the colours displayed in the legend is the exact reverse of the colour order seen in the chart body. This is very confusing to the consumers of the reports.

    This continues to be a shortcoming of stacked column charts in Cognos 11.1.1. The only way I've found to get the the order of items in the legend to coincide with the order of colors displayed on a vertical stacked column chart is to literally make a separate chart that is an exact duplicate of the first one, reverse the sort order on the grouping variable, and then hide all of the chart components except the legend. This method is a pain to set up and not really worth the simple aesthetic improvement.
