Problem with X axis categories sorting

Hello,

 I did not explained the need properly in the last post.

I have a chart and I need to use 4 categories in X axis. 

Hours are ordered from 16:00. The Hour 00:00 should be after 23:00.

How to fix hour order in X axis, that hour 00:00 would go after 23:00, the hour order starts from 18:00

That  is the only way if you want a custom order.

@PrieleBI you can sort the hour column by another column that will dictate the order of how you want to see it.

 

Sort one column by another column in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

My Hours are sorted by hourOrder, Sorting by other column does not help. Any other ideas?
