You can change the position of one or more labels in an Individual Value theme legend or in a map legend. You would do this to more accurately convey information about your map data.

To change the position of a label in a map legend in a Legend Designer window:

  1. Double-click on the legend, or right-click on it and select Modify Legend Frame Properties from the pop-up menu.
  2. In the Legend Frame Properties dialog box, in the Labels list, select one or more items that you want to move up or down in the list.

    Only those items you select will reposition in the list. You may need to uncheck items that you do not want to move.

  3. Click Move Selection Up or Move Selection Down to reposition your selection in the list.
  4. Ensure that the items you want to display in the Legend Designer window are selected in the Labels list. Unchecked items will not display in the Legend Designer window.
  5. Click OK.

The Legend Designer window refreshes with your changes.

To return to the default sort order, double-click on the legend and then click Clear Sort . This button only displays for map legends, not thematic legends. Map legends have a default sort order, which Clear Sort restores.
