Legend display order using bokeh in python

Question

I am plotting multiple series of scatter points and specifying the legend label in each scatter() function. The legend itself, however, is displayed in a random order. How can I display them in alphabetical (or other specified) order?

figure()
hold()

colors = ['#e41a1c', '#377eb8', '#4daf4a']

def myscatter(x, y, color, legend):
    scatter(x, y, color=color, legend=legend, fill_alpha=0.5, size=10)

myscatter(x1, y1, colors[0], 'x1')
myscatter(x2, y2, colors[1], 'x2')
myscatter(x3, y3 ,colors[2], 'x3')

show()

And here's a link to the image based on above code, where legend is displayed in random order: https://i.sstatic.net/pqXHj.jpg

Currently (as of 0.5.2) Bokeh does not track legend order. There is an open issue to track this behavior, and we hope to have it resolved soon!

Thanks! That would explain why I couldn't find a solution. Wished I had the right brain power to solve the ticket... I look forward to a smart soul out there figuring it out.
