    Please follow the below steps to get your result.

    1. create calculated column in date table 
    YMInt = 'Table'[Year] * 100 + 'Table'[MonthNumber]

    2. Now 
    Go to Table View > Click YM column (the one used in chart) > Go to Column Tools > Click Sort by Column > Select YMInt

    3. Go to the visual > click the three dot (upper right side of the chart) > Sort the axis > click on YMInt|

  • Hi SyiraSamsudin 

    Create a custom sort column.

    sort column =
    'Table'[Year] & FORMAT('Table'[MonthInt], "00")

    Then use this column to sort your YYMMM column. Alternatively, in Power Query, add a custom column using M:

    Text.From([Year]) & Text.PadStart(Text.From([MonthInt]), 2, "0")

    Then use this column as the sort-by column for YYMMM in the model. Sort one column by another column in Power BI
