Hi @heygowtam ,

 

Have you tried sorting your months by another column?

You Need To created one Calculatd column

Column=format(Datecolumn,"yyyymm")

@danextian That works for normal Date Table not for Financial CalendarTable

Hi @heygowtam ,

 

The same solution should also work on other uses cases. I've had several data models that used Fiscal Year and the custom column sort worked perfectly. I would have something like below where YYYYMM is used as custom sort column.

@danextian I think it may work on all other graphs, I have used them as well. 

But, with the MatriX Visual I am not sure it works
