idea Reorder legend items with arcpy.mapping in ArcGIS Pro Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/reorder-legend-items-with-arcpy-mapping/idi-p/973207 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It would be nice to be able to reorder legend items using arcpy based on an index position within the legend.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />Currently there is no intuitive way to reorder legend items in arcpy. You can insert items in respect to a reference layer, with LegendElement.autoAdd = True but if the legend has been manually reordered you may get unexpected results.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />If each legend item had a corresponding index value and could be reordered based on its index, this would open up lots of possibilities for automating legend generation/updating, which I have had several requests for from members of our GIS Department. The current functions allows for some functionality they request but its not quite enough.&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 19 Mar 2014 20:45:53 GMT ClintDow 2014-03-19T20:45:53Z Reorder legend items with arcpy.mapping https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/reorder-legend-items-with-arcpy-mapping/idi-p/973207 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It would be nice to be able to reorder legend items using arcpy based on an index position within the legend.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />Currently there is no intuitive way to reorder legend items in arcpy.
