Research direction

Start at the sc.pl.umap entry point and review how its existing parameters control the legend. Define the expected behavior for a legend_order parameter, then add coverage alongside the existing plotting tests if available. Done means callers can supply an order and the rendered legend follows it; the issue has had no recent activity for over four years.
