How to prevent my stacked series from being in reverse order?

Question

I tried an example of stacked series on JSFiddle but according to me, series are reversed when stacked:

$(function () {
    $('#container').highcharts({
        chart: {
        },
        xAxis: {
            categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
        },

        plotOptions: {
            series: {
                stacking: 'normal'
            }
        },

        series: [{
            data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4]
        }, {
            data: [144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4, 29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2]
        }]
    });
});

The first line in blue should be drawn first (January : 29.9), and the second should be added to this one (January : 29.9 + 144 = 173.9 ).

Is there a way to get series in the right order when they are stacked?

Answer 1

You can change order by index parameter which can be set in serie.

http://jsfiddle.net/KLttA/

series: [{
        data: [29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2, 144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4],
        index:1
    }, {
        data: [144.0, 176.0, 135.6, 148.5, 216.4, 194.1, 95.6, 54.4, 29.9, 71.5, 106.4, 129.2],
        index:0
    }]

Since this was the top result in google, maybe this saves time for some:

The yAxis has a reversedStacks parameter (since version 3.0.10), which is true by default. To build stacks from bottom up, set this to false. Legend and shared tooltip item order remain correct this way.

Answer 3

You can use the serie's legendIndex parameter : http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#series.data.legendIndex

Answer 4

Another way of doing this is by adding .reverse() to the end of the series array, see example at http://jsfiddle.net/sq9u6q5n/ .

Answer 5

What you are looking for is reversed in xAxis or yAxis. I tried reversedStacks but it didn't work and after looking at the documentation, I couldn't find it so assuming that it has been replaced with reversed.
