How to change the sequence of an x -Axis?

Hello together,

 

I would like to show some costs over the month of a year, the month showed as numbers (e.g. 1 for january, 2 for february and so on). If I prepare the diagram, the month being the x-axis, I get the following sequence:

1 10 11 12 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

 

Is there a possiblity to change the sequence manually in the following way:

 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12  ?

 

Thank you for your help!

Hi @SchmitKS,

 

I think the data type of your column should be text here, as I can reproduce it if the column is in text. However, I change it to number, then it shows the result as you want.

If you still want to set data type of the month column to text, then you can make the month column sort by another column that the order is correct.
