Why is the status summary color order randomized?

The summary at the end of the status column re-orders the statuses in a random way instead of following the order set in the label setup menu. If we have a logical flow of statuses such as To Do > In Progress > In Review > In Testing > Done, the summary should follow this order as well. Otherwise this creates extra steps when looking at status distribution across a group because we must hover over the status to know which one it is. We cannot quickly get high-level information about our pipeline at a glance.

Below is an example in which our statuses are Q1 > Q2 > Q3 > Q4.

Our label list clearly indicates the logical order of the statuses, but the summary places Q4 in front of Q1 which doesn’t make any sense. A straightforward solution to this would be to have the color order in the summary exactly follow the order of labels in the status list.

Agreed. This is irritating that the order doesn’t follow the order you define when setting up the labels/colours.

I want to see my status bar fill up with green over time (from left to right). The current way is very awkward.
