Chart legend in columns, not rows

[BlackieHamel]

I have a chart with eight columns, labeled by the legend below them. Excel defaults to listing these elements left to right, and then down, thus:
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8

I think it's more user friendly for the legend to display columns: thus:

1 5​

2

6​

3

7​

4

8

Is that possible?

Thanks -- Blackie

My post didn't display as I hoped, but I was hoping to show two columns, with the left column containing 1 2 3 4 and the right column 5 6 7 8.
