Part 1: A client of ours is having a major issue about how the items are being shown (where the first item is always at the bottom of the list with other stacked on top of that) in the Legend for a Gantt chart. I know you can supply them in the reverse order to fix the issue with the legend, but messes up the order on the chart -- this isn't acceptable to the client. JuanC replied in another forum this info regarding the order of the legend: Our client unfortunately wants the reverse of this for their GANTT chart legend. While they want the first item on the bottom of the stacked chart, they want it at the top of the legend. Is there a way to force the legend to swap this? Part 2: Is there a way to force the legend to show the items in "x" amount of columns, rather than create a huge 1 column listing of all of the items for a Gantt chart? Example: 2 Column Based --> Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 5 Item 6 Rather than is showing up like this: Item 6 Item 5 Item 4 Item 3 Item 2 Item 1 It seems that the software arbitrarily determines how this layout should appear, as I've found no documentation that will force a column based legend layout. If I've missed a setting or settings, please let me know what I've overlooked. Thanks, Jason

JuanC, We are currently using Chart FX for Java 6.2, so based on your responses I have a few more questions: Our client unfortunately wants the reverse of this for their GANTT chart legend. While they want the first item on the bottom of the stacked chart, they want it at the top of the legend. Is there a way to force the legend to swap this? As I stated above, we are using Chart FX for Java 6.2, so is there a method in the version we have to force the legend to be in 2 columns? I didn't see anything in the documentation regarding ItemsPanel. Thanks, Jason

Has there been any further discussion about how to order the items in the legend? A of ours that we are using the charts we create with your software is having a major issue about how the items are being shown (where the first item is always at the bottom of the list with other stacked on top of that). Aa JuanC stated, giving them to you in the reverse order fixes the issue with the legend, but messes up the order on the chart. Also, is there a way to force the list to show the items in "x" amount of columns, rather than create a huge 1 column listing of all of the items? Example: 2 Column Based --> Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 5 Item 6 Rather than is showing up like this: Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 5 Item 6 It seems that the software arbitrarily determines how this layout should appear, as I've found no documentation that will force a column based legend layout. If I've missed a setting or settings, please let me know what I've overlooked. Thanks, Jason
