Today you sent me mail regarding [rrd-developers] Re: Stacking:

I have been thinking about the stack legend problem ... and was not able to
come up with a good solution as it is also possible to mix STACK and PRINY
elements ... so the ordering question remains .. one possible solution would
be to allow for an optional argument with all the legends ... the argument
would specify the order of the legends ... this is for 1.1.x though, as it
requires changing arguments ... 

cheers
