Default Change series order in a legend

I'm using Excel 2003, and am having difficulty arranging the order of my
series' names in my stacked-bar chart's legend. My problem is that the
eleventh (and final) series is showing up in spot number ten on that legend,
instead of the more logical spot number eleven.

I've tried the standard "double-click the series and use the Move Up and
Move Down buttons", but the series giving me the problem isn't showing up on
that list. (I have the feeling that only the first ten series show up in the
list).

I've also tried selecting the series (to get the formula,
"=SERIES(Transition!$A$69,,flexA.xls!XReturnTime,1 1)", so as to change the
last number), but the number is already at eleven. Changing it to anything
else moves the series' bar position amongst the other series's (not a desired
result), but its spot on the legend remains in tenth place regardless of that
last number.

And I've tried deleting and regenerating the legend, and resizing the
legend, too, but those things didn't work, either.

Finally, out of desperation, I've completely recreated my spreadsheet from
scratch and re-making the chart. Didn't work.

I've run out of ideas! Does anybody know of any work-arounds for this issue?

Any help is appreciated€¦
