Mike,
Select the X-Axis item in the third tab of the wizard. There is a
reverse categories checkbox. Does checking it do what you want? If not
you can alter the legend order in script. Let me know if you need an
example.

Mike,
Here is one way to do it (using a beforeRendering script):
function beforeRendering( gcs, icsc )
{
//Script reverses chart legend order
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.computation);
importPackage(Packages.java.util);
importPackage(Packages.java.lang);
var llh = gcs.getRunTimeContext().getLegendLayoutHints();
//current legend
var liha = llh.getLegendItemHints( );
//new legend construct
var nliha = java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(LegendItemHints,
(liha.length));
if ( liha.length > 1 ){
for( idx=0; idx < liha.length; idx++ ){
var tli = liha[idx];
var oldpos = tli.getIndex();
var newpos = (liha.length-1)-idx;
var ntli = liha[newpos];
//valid legend entry
if( tli.getType() == LegendItemHints.Type.LG_ENTRY){
//create a new legend item using the the new items values
var lih = LegendItemHints.newEntry( ntli.getItemText(),
ntli.getValueText(), ntli.getSeriesDefinition(), ntli.getSeries(),
ntli.getIndex() );
lih.top(tli.getTop());
lih.left(tli.getLeft());
nliha[idx]=lih;
}else{
//separator
nliha[idx]=liha[idx];
}
}
}
//Create a new copy of the legend layout hints
var nllh = new LegendLayoutHints(
llh.getLegendSize(),llh.getTitleSize(),null,
llh.isMinSliceApplied(),llh.getMinSliceText(),
nliha );
//Update before rendering
gcs.getRunTimeContext().setLegendLayoutHints(nllh);
}
