Scatter chart - two data points not in date order
Hi Anonymous ,
I have tested your data and could replicate the problem and also understand the grouping by date and legend together and then sorting.
Since last 2 days, I am trying sorting of x axis date with an index column, but somehow it does not allow date.
One more workaround is to use line chart in place of scatter chart, and not use the line color but just the marker color, and sort by date. It works fine even with legend, but you need to specify legend colors manually while publishing the report.
Hope it helps.

Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for! I didn't think to use a line chart as I thought scatterplot would be the right tool.
I just changed the chart type and I didn't even have to move any of the fields. See below picture, which now shows the two data points correctly at 10 April 2022 instead of sitting within March.
