It appears that there are two things needed to be fixed. In legend.m the 
attached changeset associates the legend labels with the proper objects (it 
could use more testing to be sure all works with hggroups). Unfortunately, the 
rendered legend lists the objects in the reverse order of what is desired.

It appears to me that to correct the order of the legend labels the order of 
rendering of the axes' children in __go_draw_axes__ must be reversed. 

John/David/anyone-else is this the proper thing to do?
