Hi 

For Stacked Column Chart in Small Multiples I Want to sort Month year in proper order, I tried Using Tool tip and other options but it's not working.
I have 3 Years of data and I want to show trend.

Currently am getting Month year in X-Axis like

Feb-2021

I want sorting like below

Jan-2020

Feb-2020

@UdayCG22 , You need to create a sort column and mark that as sort column

 

Month Year = FORMAT([Date],"mmm-yyyy")
Month Year sort = FORMAT([Date],"yyyymm")

 

You need select the month year column. Got to COlumn tool -> Sort by column -> select Month Year sort
