Scatter chart X axis sorting issue

[Krushnab85]

Hi I am using a scatter chart, i placed Date on X axis, Count of orders on Y axis, Days from order to ship in the legend, Count of orders in the size. But the visual is not sorting as per date, I have done sorting with header icons, with sort by column options and many more but i am not getting the answer. I need this data by sorting by date in ascending order

Hi @Krushnab85 
I replicated your scenario on my data and it worked correctly :

make sure that the data type of the date column is date:

and try to compare our files.
If it still doesn't work share a link to your pbix

My example is attached.

Hi @Krushnab85 

Apologies for the delayed response, I had a busy day.

The sorting issue is caused by the clustering of shipping days.
Without it , the sort order is correct:

The last two points are outliers in terms of the clustering that the graph performs, and that's why you're not able to sort properly, unfortunately, there is no way to fix it.

In the past, we had a categorical scatter plot for these purposes, but unfortunately, it no longer exists.

You can try to replace this graph with a line graph with only markers (no lines). Of course, you won't be able to affect the size of the points, but you will be able to show the division by colors as you are doing here.
Please refer to the linked discussion for more information.
