Hi @Anonymous 

Thanks for your reply.

If the type is Whole number, it should work fine. Could you share a sample file for us to check? Thanks

@Anonymous , check do you have two values for same month in sort column, I doubt that

to test plot both to them unsummarized in a table visual and sort on month and check

 

This is how you column and sort column should look like

Month Year = FORMAT([Date],"mmmm")
Month Year sort = month([DAte])
