This is because you plot these two curves in last. Legend is affected to the order of the plots, legend{1} is first plot, legend{2} is second plot, legend{3} is third plot etc.
You can either :
- Change the order in the legend cell array: legstr = {'a' 'c' 'd' 'f' 'g' 'h' 'i' 'j' 'b' 'e'}
- or change the order of plotting, like plotting the 1st curve, then the 2nd (highlighted), then 3rd and 4th, then 5th (highlighted), then 6th to last.
It is quite straightforward to do with the index numbers of your highlighted curves.
Something like that should work:
clear
n = 10;
t = 20;
tt = rand(t,n);
legstr = cellstr(string(('a':'z').').');
ind2 = 2;
ind3 = 5;
figure
hold on
for i = 1:ind2-1
plot(tt(:,i),'Color',0.6*ones(1,3))
end
plot(tt(:,ind2),'Color','r')
for i = ind2+1:ind3-1
plot(tt(:,i),'Color',0.6*ones(1,3))
end
plot(tt(:,ind3),'Color','b')
for i = ind3+1:n
plot(tt(:,i),'Color',0.6*ones(1,3))
end
legend(legstr)
