Axis Layout "Newsest to Oldest"

I am representing 3 years worth of history, by week, based on my fiscal calendar.  Because of the extended time period, I would like to change the chronology from most recent to oldest.  Below is a screen capture of the existing layout, looking for a suggestion how I can change it in Power BI.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

It's also to sort in line chart and matrix. In the line chart, as long as the X axis type set as Categorical, the Sort by <column> also available.

For the matrix, we can place date column in Rows, we can also click triangle to sort.
