Changing the order of the data sets on this dialog changes the font-to-back (if you plot symbols) or left-to-right (if you plot bars) order of the data sets on the graph. It does not change the order of the legends.

The previous section explained how to adjust the order of the data sets. The order of the individual columns within a particular data set is determined by the order they are entered in the data table.
