Sorting date based axes
Sorry, I am still not 100% up with the correct terminology in Power BI.
On the home ribbon/menu of Power Bi Desktop, on the left hand side, click on the middle icon (Data view - not table view- sorry).
Select your table
select the Name column you want to resort in a different order
Click on the modelling ribbon/menu
Click "sort by column", and then select the id column
Go back to your report (top icon, report view on the left hand side).

The data in the tabel are already sorted the right way - that has no effect on the visual.
I also looked at: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-sort-by-column/ . In my histogram the button 'Sort by Column' cannot be clicked.

Are you saying you have followed my instructions and it didn't work?
Now it works!
I missed one part, because of the fact that my menu's are in Dutch.
Thanks Matt.
