Say I have one chart component with multiple datasets. Right now, the lines for each dataset are displayed in the order that I added the datasets to the chart (i.e. the first dataset I added is in front, the second dataset I added is displayed behind that one on the chart). Is there a way to change the display order without having to delete the datasets and add them back in the order I want displayed?

I will normally just rename the datasets and put a number in front of each which will then sort them the way I need them.  
1Dataset  
2Dataset  
5Dataset
