OWC11 .NET Bars seem to be out of order with the Legend

[mcbensch]

It seems like the bars, in the chart referenced below, are backwards in
order from the Legend shown, and also how they were entered into the
contol. Is there a reason in my code for this? Or is there a
property/method that will order them in the same order as the legend?

I believe it is because of the type of chart. You can choose to either
re-arrange the order of the legend or the bars, legend is probably easier if
you use the index of the legend collection.
