Can the Netdata charts be configured to display the order of the dimensions on the legend in a specific order?

For example, if we have a chart defined with the dimensions [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’], the chart legend would list the dimensions as:  
a  
b  
c  
d

Would it be possible to configure the chart to render these dimensions in a different order, or is just tied to the chart definition within the collector?

@dave_s hi.

You are guessing it right. Ufortunately it is not possible to customize the order with the current implementation.
