Hi @Anonymous ,

If I understand your requirement correctly that you want to sort the X-axis in any chart?

If it is, I think you could create an index column firstly and then sort the Q1 - 2019  column by the index column so that you could achieve  your desired output.

Please refer to the similar thread here and the feature sort by column in power bi desktop.

If you still need help, please share data sample and your desired output so that we could help further on it.

Best  Regards,

Cherry
