The order of the items in the legend is dependent on when they get loaded and 
first displayed.  From a bundle, that's not guaranteed to be the same every 
time at this point.  With the new multi-processor support and disk caching of 
data, I find that I can get a different order quite often for some of my 
bundles.

Sorry about that.
