Line and Cluster Column Chart Sort Column Legend

Hello: Power BI novice here. I have a line and cluster chart; the column legend refers to a column "Account Type Description" with a value of either Expense or Income. In a simple cluster chart, I can sort descending, but I can't find a way to change the order in a line and cluster chart. I want Income and then Expense, but the default is alphabetical.

 

Any help is much appreciated!

The problem doesn't seem to be the version. The difference is that it doesn't show the sort option when is date in the x-axis. But it gives the sort option for non-date field.  

Month-Year is a string:

Date field:

I was also looking for an answer for this issue.

I appreciate your response. I do not see that option, and I am on the most current version of power bi desktop as well.
