Sort multistacked graphs by usage

This is probably not possible due to the many different data types that can be added to a multistacked graph, but is there anyway to have the graphs sort the checks by usage? Example:
multistacked sort.png
In this example you can see the check with the highest utilization is 15% and it's 6th on that list. It would be awesome if the highest utilization could be sorted top to bottom when hovering. Again, I'm not sure this is even possible, but figured it couldn't hurt to bring it up.

I can certainly ask the devs about this. The graphs are built by Highcharts which is a third-party Javascript library, so it might be somewhat out of our control without modifying the library (something we typically try to avoid).

Cool thanks! I went into this question with very little optimism of this being possible, so if it's not then meh. Speaking of the multistacked graphs, though, there's a feature request for editing dashlets out there (
http://tracker.nagios.com/view.php?id=328), any idea if progress has been made on this or if the ability to edit dashlets would mean also having the ability to edit miltistacked graphs? The graph in my OP is really useful as it shows the CPU usage of all the zones on a single physical global server, allowing us to see which zone is consuming the most CPU at any given time. The sorting issue, and the inability to not edit the graph (say if zones are added or removed from this global) makes this type of thing REALLY hard to do in our environment.
We've been struggling pretty much since implementing Nagios with finding a good way of visualizing this (which zone on a global is causing the highest CPU usage), so any tips on that would be great. The metrics rework would definitely help us a lot, but even when that does come it will only show the usage on demand, not for a specific time period. So that will be super handy for us, but it would still be great to find another way of visualizing this as well. Kind of off topic, sorry, just throwing it out there in case anyone has any ideas.

I filed a feature request for editing dashlets recently, at
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 965#162872.
As for sorting the tooltip - I don't believe this would be very difficult. I have filed a feature request for this, ID #7251.
