The legend items will then be sorted by `legendrank` (ties broken by index in the `data` array) before being laid out.\r\n\r\nAs an example for:\r\n\r\n```\r\ndata = [\r\n{name: \"A\", legendrank: 2}\r\n{name: \"D\", legendrank: 4, legendgroup: \"G2\"}\r\n{name: \"E\", legendrank: 4, legendgroup: \"G2\"}\r\n{name: \"B\", legendrank: 1, legendgroup: \"G1\"}\r\n{name: \"C\", legendrank: 3, legendgroup: \"G1\"}\r\n]\r\n```\r\n\r\nthen I would expect the legend order to be: `G1(B,C), A, G2(D,E)`.\r\n\r\nNote that the group order matters in the example above, when this will be coupled with #5260 and/or `legendgroupgap`.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/nicolaskruchten","@type":"Person","name":"nicolaskruchten"},"datePublished":"2021-02-13T15:41:23.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/5501/plotly.js/issues/5501"}
