What is the bug or the crash?

The issue occurs when using rule based symbologies with a greater number of classes then displayed on a map. When you go to the legend in a print layout, and tick 'Only show items in linked maps' the legend will hide any rule based classes that are not shown in the map. However, when trying to rearrange the order of any remaining legend items you must click the arrows extra times before they reorganise, I believe that this is due to them rearranging based on all labels, rather than only the labels shown in the map.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Open a the project 'Broken Legend'
Open Print Layout 'map1'
In the 'Item Properties' for the legend try moving SC down to the bottom. It will take several clicks of the down arrow.
If you untick the 'Only show inside linked maps' button you will see that it has reordered the whole list of possible symbologies.
