    Hi I found a solution to my own problem.

    By grouping ExpiryAnalysis_1  as shown below

     

    I was able to add this grouping to the x axis of mychart

Hi cottrera 

yup this issue occurs when your sort by column having multiplt duplicate values. sort by column works perfectly when you have unique records in your column.

 

try below videos for better understanding

Note: try to reset your power bi file. sometime cache also causes the same issue. 
if you have similar format like beloe
No: sort by column
A      1
A      1
A      1
B      2

B      2
C     3
C     3

 

If you hsve similar format structure then must be cache issue. try to reset of install new PBI version may help you to fix aboev problem.

 

I hope i answer your qustion!
