Scatter Plot x-axis sorting

Hi Everyone,

 

I need help with my Scatter chart, it seems that I cannot set the x-axis to Categorical anymore, do we have a workaround for it?

This is my chart below, I have a custom sort that is being followed by my x-axis but Scatter chart does not follow when using it:

Make sure that the column applied on the x-axis of the scatter chart is of data type number. Currently, there is a value on the x-axis by the name of "none". Categorical/Continuous options are not available for text/date fields.
