Using Period has text

In order to avoid using dates I have added a period column as text. As I need to source through fiscal periods.

The start of the financial year is October, and that's my "FY22 P1". Unfortunately, the visualisations don't follow the periods in the order required. Any clues?

By default visuals are sorted by value.  Click the ellipsis in the top right of the visual ( ... )  and then sort by period. Click it again to sort ascending.
