Hi @bdehning ,

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1)Click "Transform Data" to enter the Power Query editor, sort the dates in ascending order, and click Add Index Column from 1.

(2)Click "Close and Apply", go back to desktop, switch to "Data" view, click to sort columns, and select index columns.

(3)Then the result is as follows.

Hi @bdehning ,

Quick solution: create a measure with max of your date column then use it in tooltip and sort by measure in visual.

Best Solution: create another calculated column like below

Sort = Year(date)*100+Month(date)

And sort your month and year column which is used in X axis with Sort column which we have created
