Currently have a ggplot2 stacked bar graph setup. Everything works properly now except I am having an issue with the legend. I have put it on the bottom but there are 10 items so some are cutoff (doesnt fit). I tried guides(fill=guide_legend(nrow=2)) but this puts the labels in a different order (I want to get the first 5 across then the last 5 below. Any suggestions?

You were really close. Try this at the very end:

gg+guides(fill=guide_legend(nrow=2,byrow=TRUE))

The solution above is presented for a single aesthetic. In some cases, you may want to wrap the legend into rows instead of columns across different aesthetics. For posterity, this is shown below.

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(diamonds, aes(x=carat, y=price, col=clarity, shape=cut)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme(legend.position="bottom")

The legend is cut off below:

To wrap the legend using rows, we specify legend.box="vertical". Below, we also reduce the margin for compactness.

ggplot(diamonds, aes(x=carat, y=price, col=clarity, shape=cut)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme(legend.position="bottom", legend.box="vertical", legend.margin=margin())
