@sridharan31 Hey, ng2-charts uses default position for legend, that calculated in chart.js.
so you cannot tune legend position in ng2-charts settings

Default settings for legend in chart.js(node_modules/chart.js/src/core/core.legend.js) is set for top:

Chart.defaults.global.legend = {

        display: true,
        position: 'top',
        fullWidth: true, 
        reverse: false,
}

@sridharan31 , @SergeyKuryatnick , actually, the position can be tuned in ng2-charts:

public barChartOptions:any = {
    legend: {position: 'bottom'}
}

guys, I'm able to bring the legend from the default top position to bottom using:
public options: any = {
legend: {position: 'bottom'},
};

however, I need it at a bottom right corner.. how can i do that? tried doing:
legend: {position: 'bottom right'}
but to no avail!

@gshashikant Did you find a solution? I want to keep it at the top left. Is it possible?

There is no clear solution, actually this is a chartjs limitation.
The legend is defined by the generateLabels function that only allows top|bottom|left|right

see I am using doughnut charts and I am getting values from backend so now the need is to filter those values in descending order .....so how to sort the values of labels?

legend: {
// orient: 'vertical',
// top: 'middle',
bottom: 10,
left: 'right',
data: ['西凉', '益州','兖州','荆州','幽州']
},
bạn có thể dùng cái này nhé
