Change order of colors accordingly when sorting Pies or Bars by size

{noformat}
1. Create a Pie or Bar chart, using the Color By property with some meaningful column (to see some colors)
2. In Pie chart: choose 'Sort by Sector size' (for pies)
3. In Bar chart: choose the 'Color By' col as the X-axis col, and then chose 'Sort bars by height'.

Result: Colors in Legend are shown in the same order than they originally were, but that does not reflect the new orders, i.e., neither the sector order nor the bar order.

Expected: Color order in plot Legend to be resorted to match the sector order and/or the bar order.

    I highly need this! When items cannot be grouped and there are 100 items in the legend they should be sorted the same if the pie chart is sorted by size.
