highchart stacked column, display extremely small values in shift lable

Question

i am currently using [highchart js lib][1] to create a stacked column chart for my project.

here is my exact code:

$(function () {
        $('#container').highcharts({
            yAxis: {
                min: 0,
                title: {
                    text: 'Total fruit consumption'
                },
                stackLabels: {
                    enabled: true,
                    style: {
                        fontWeight: 'bold',
                        color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.textColor) || 'gray'
                    }
                }
            },
            legend: {
                align: 'right',
                x: -70,
                verticalAlign: 'top',
                y: 20,
                floating: true,
                backgroundColor: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.background2) || 'white',
                borderColor: '#CCC',
                borderWidth: 1,
                shadow: false
            },
            tooltip: {
                formatter: function() {
                    return '<b>'+ this.x +'</b><br/>'+
                        this.series.name +': '+ this.y +'<br/>'+
                        'Total: '+ this.point.stackTotal;
                }
            },
            plotOptions: {
                column: {
                    stacking: 'normal',
                    dataLabels: {
                        enabled: true,
                        color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.dataLabelsColor) || 'white',
                        style: {
                            textShadow: '0 0 3px black, 0 0 3px black'
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        });
    });

so the extremely small value shows up in extra label .

i am not even sure highchart lib can do that or not,

please suggest with some code example. cheers

Unfortunately this is not defaulty supported, but you can try adapt solution, which detect conflicts between labels.

load: function() {
                    StaggerDataLabels(this.series);
                },
                redraw: function() {
                    var series = this.series;
                    setTimeout(function() {
                        StaggerDataLabels(series);
                    }, 1000);
                }
