Line Chart - x axis

I have the table where my data column looks like this but my visual is showing data ordered by months (January comes before December) I would like the first data point to be the oldest one. So x-axis should start with July 2022, and August 2022........March 2023 and April 2023.  Can this be accoplished?

@stribor45 , better use year of axis and expand and switch off concatenate label -off

 

Or sort your month on this column

 

month  = if(month([Date]) <7, month([Date])+6 , month([Date])-6)

Reformating the date to MMMM YYYYY and changing the axis type to "Categorical" resolved it for me.
