How to re-order x-axis stacked chart to chronologically show time values

Currently I am unable to re-order the time values in my stacked chart. I have changed to "order by year implemented" which is the data category on the x-axis but it then orders the values from greatest to least :'( 

 

As you could imagine this chart would be WAY more helpful if it the x-axis went in chronological order. If anyone has any tips or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. (Photo Below)

 

Thanks (:

Hi @Anonymous,

 

1. Make sure the data type for [Year] is set to Whole number.

2. To change the order of [Year] displayed on X-axis, click the three dots on the top right.

That was indeed my problem, once I changed the data type it began to function correctly!


THANKS!
