Issues with line Graph

This is one of the craziest things I've encoutnered in PBI. I have a line graph displaying scrap % over time ranging from 2020-current, pretty straight forward. 2021-current, the lines display fine, no problem but 2020 it overlaps, goes backwards, looks anything but like a line graph. Has anyone ahd this issue before? The first screenshot is 2020 and the second is 2021-current. The other graphs and cards update just fine.

@mjr0013 Just throwing things out in the dark here... Could you 2020 dates be formatted differently? Maybe they are text vs number or something along that line? Or maybe there's some weird sort order issue?  Could you provide a sample of some of the data?

Egg on my face. The month year was formatted correctly but the column I was using to sort it was text, not whole number. Thank you sir!
