Issue with order of categories in Waterfall chart

Hello,

 

I've created a waterfall chart with a measure returning positive or negative value depending on date. For the category, I've selected the hierarchy "Date". At the moment, my chart has the years ordered 2012,2010,2008,2011,2013 ... the order is not laphabetical but is linked to the value of the measure.

 

I have no "Order By" choice when clicking on more option for this visualization According to samples and documentation, catgories should be sorted according to the sort order but it's not the case.

 

Is it jut me or is it a bug?

My filed "Date" is effectively of type "Date".I've tried with other fields (Text) and I've the same problem, my chart is always ordered from the biggest to the lowest value of my measure and not ordered by the order of the category.

Have you tried the "sort by column" option in the data model?

Yes, this attribute of the field is correct. Ig I use this field in any other chart the behaviour of ordering will be correct. My problem sounds specific to the waterfall chart.
