When I plot a function with legend and axes, the legend gets placed behind the axes (see example below)

I would like to have the legend sitting in front of everything. Is there a parameter that controls this? If not, what is the easiest way to accomplish this. I must emphasize that I'm generating many plots, and I would like to avoid long manual adjustments.

Code used to generate figure:

Plot[{Sin[a],Sin[a-2/3Pi],Sin[a+2/3Pi]},{a,0,4Pi}, PlotLegends->Placed[LineLegend[{"ia","ib","ic"}, 
LegendFunction->(Framed[#,BaseStyle->FontSize->8, Background->White, RoundingRadius->2, FrameMargins->None,
FrameStyle->Directive[Thin,Black]]&), Spacings->0.0, LegendMarkerSize->10],{{.99,.99},{1,1}}], 
ImageSize->180, AspectRatio->1/2]

    $\begingroup$ Do you get what you need if you add the option Method -> {"AxesInFront" -> False} to Plot? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Is there a place where all 'Plot' methods are documented? I found this answer from @Michael E2, but it does not contain this particular method, which leads me to conclude that there might be some other methods not listed there. $\endgroup$

Using the option Method -> {"AxesInFront" -> False} in Plot gives (in version 9 / windows 10 - 64 bit):
