    It is possible, yes.  You would need to add 2 calculated columns to your Calendar table.  1 for the display value and 1 to sort the display value into the correct order.

    First the display value:

    Month Year Prior = 
    IF ( YEAR ( [Date] ) < YEAR ( TODAY() ) - 1, "Prior to " & YEAR ( TODAY() ) - 1, FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm-yy") )

     Then the sort order:

    Month Year Prior Sort = 
    IF ( YEAR ( [Date] ) < YEAR ( TODAY() ) - 1, 1, YEAR([Date]) * 100 + MONTH ( [Date] ) )

    Make sure to select the [Month Year Prior] column and set the sort by to [Month Year Prior Sort]:

    Then add the [Month Year Prior] to your chart.

    The column is dynamic, so in 2024 it will show 'Prior to 2023' and grab all those dates.

    YM = 'Date'[Year]&FORMAT('Date'[Month Number],"00")
    and then creating a group
