Hi fanhui3 

I downloaded your sample pbix file and got the following solution:

 

  1.  Select your column Sort and change the data type to whole number.
  2. In data view select your column Month & Year > tab Column tools > Sort by column > choose Sort.

The sort order of the chart axis changes immediatly.

 

With kind regards from the town where the legend of the 'Pied Piper of Hamelin' is at home

At this point, I am starting to think there are problem with my software instead of the solutions.
