Graph by specific month order

Hi guys, 

 

I have watched a lot of videos and tried to follow online guidance on here but I still can't seem to get my graphs to order in financial year order (April first). I understand I need to have a new column with month numbers but struggling with the coding for this too...Any help is much appreciated. See below for my current data and graph.

@Len_Barr  Got it, I accidentally had them linked to other columns in model view. 

 

Now I believe I have everything as you have said...but still no luck with graph. Any ideas?
