Month order changed in Scatter Chart

I created a column chart visulization with units on the Y axis and months on the x-axis sorted by the fiscal calendar starting in October and ending in September.  For some reason when I swtich the visulization to Scatter Chart January gets put as the first month and then the rest of the months are in the normal fiscal year order starting with October.  See attached pics.  When I click on any other chart it goes back to the origonal sort order.   I tried building the visulization from scratch starting as a scatter chart and the month sort order was fine until I added UserNames to the Legend field then January jumped back out infront of October again.

Any thoughts on why it is doing this and how to fix it?

      That link does not address the problem I am seeing.  I am not concerned about sorting the order of the users within each column (month) but the order of the columns (months) themselves along the X-axis. The behavior I am seeing seems more like a bug with the scatter chart in that it incorrectly moves January to the far left of the chart and leaves the rest of the months in chrolological order based on my fiscal year calendar sorting.  All the other charts using the same data display the months in the correct chronological fiscal year order (e.g. October 2018 through September 2019).
