Sorting January after December

I have a line chart with the January, November and December at the bottom  of the chart. January is for 2018 so it needs to be last. How do I get the chart to put the months in that order? The year is not in the character date but I do have it in another field.

 

Thanks, Mark

    The unexpected sorting order may be caused by your data type, what is the type of the axis column? If date type, there shall be no problem. As to text type, you can reference Sorting by Month Names in Power BI
