Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Tested stacked column charts can be selected directly on the view in descending order.

Add calculation column:

Rank = RANKX('Table',[date],,DESC,Dense)

Adding Rank to the X-axis of the line chart table allows you to sort in ascending and descending order.

@Anonymous ,

from nov-21 onward we have option sort legend in the visual in three dots.

 

else create a new columns

 

month/year 1 = [Month year]

Month year sort = year([Date])*100 + month([Date])

sort Month/year1 on month year sort and use month/year 1 in the visual
