In ArcGIS Pro version 2.5.1, the reverse ordering issue for legends still seems to be broken. The order of the numbers change but the color patches don't so the connection between a raster legend and the map is broken... reporting incorrect info.

This is a screen capture of a map with a raster in ArcGIS Pro 2.5.1. I clicked the circle area in the upper right of the map... and the pixel value shows it should be the darker colors (76.7)... I know that the reverse ordering bug was allegedly fixed in this release (Esri: “BUG-000128246), but I am still seeing problems with it.

Thanks,

Roland

You would be advised to report this to Tech Support to ensure that this geets looked at.

Hi Dan,

Hopefully Esri tech support monitors these postings because this is a serious problem that will impact a lot of ArcGIS Pro users. I am pretty low on the chain of command to access Esri tech support directly, so this is the most efficient way for me to post significant issues like this to the GIS and Esri community. #Esri #TechSupport‌

Yes, it is convoluted

Roland - as you mentioned and I'm seeing this on the internals is that BUG-000128246 was fixed at AGP 2.5.1 but it is interesting that you're still seeing the issue.

The workaround is the following - Right-click the Upper Value column and choose to Reverse Order twice to reflect the changes in the Contents pane."

I'm also cc'ing Kory Kramer‌ to get some additional eyes on this GeoNet thread.

As far as I can tell, that bug was not referring to rasters.

When working with vector data in 2.5.1, I see that there is an option to Reverse order for the values:

and Reverse symbol order when I right-click on Symbol

Both appear to be working correctly.

Now, for the raster case, there is only an option to Reverse ordering of the color, not the values.

Roland, have you tried More > Reverse ordering?

I think that by using that you can control the order of the values, and right-clicking Color you can switch the color order.

Knowing that, are you able to represent your data correctly?

Thanks Kory, I am just seeing that this post received new activity. Yes, the "Reverse ordering" (under More) option is reversing the order in the legend but not staying in sink with the legend patch colors... so it appears to be broken... right clicking on the "Color" doesn't resolve the issue.

This is the raster file to try: http://www.edc.uri.edu/personal/roland/download/GeoNet/NOAA_Weather_Kriging.zip

I was just able to recreate the problem in a new ArcGIS Pro 2.5.1 session... using this data set.

I hope this helps.

Thank you Roland Duhaime‌ Please see Reversing order of raster legend

Hi Kory,

Thanks for posting the video. I agree that it would be good for the raster team to resolve this bug. If they have further questions about how I think this should be resolved, I would be happy to work with them to make this right.

Roland Duhaime‌ sorry, looking at this again, I do see that of course using the More > reverse ordering does not change the raster colors in the map.

It looks like technical support has a bug logged for this as [BUG-000131715: When using the classify renderer, 'Reverse Order' is not working properly.] BUG-000131715: When using the classify renderer, 'Reverse Order' is.. Unfortunately, it appears this is a raster-specific issue that is different from the issue you referenced in the original post. You can go to the link I've provided and click the Subscribe button which will set you up for updates, and also increment the count of affected customers. I apologize again that you're running into this bug. The development team now has the issue and will work on a fix.

Thank you.

Thanks again Kory,

I took a look at the bug report posting. I only wish that they would raise the severity level from medium to something more severe. This could be a serious issue for some GIS users that aren't aware of this.

Again, I really appreciate your input.

Roland

Hi, I am having exactly this issue too with 2.5.1. No matter what combination of More>Reverse ordering - More>Reverse Symbol order - Color>Reverser Order, I cannot get the desired Legend of showing highest values with darkest colours from top to bottom, and worst of all you can end up with the map showing incorrect colours hence values compared to the Legend.

It is a raster data showing population at 1km grid res that I am trying to symbolize correctly for a Map.

The first screenshot shows the map correctly symbolized after I chosse a color and classification scheme:

The 2nd shows what happens if I use More>Symbols>Reverse Order, still technically correct but it only chanegd the color order not the values.

So to try and get the correct order of values I choose More>Reverse ordeing and in the contents layer legend, symbology panel and map legend I get the desired order for colours & values but the map data itself now incorrectly shows darker areas as high values etc (see first screenshot for correct map values).

the pixel value of the centre of this extracts dark area is 11.37 so should be in the last class <169.71

Hi,

Was this ever resolved? The same issue is apparent in 2.8.1

Liam, Mark, whoever else reads this,

This has not been resolved. I'm still experiencing this issue in 2.9.1.
