Calendar Table displays different in Power Bi than it does in Power Query

I Built a Calendar Table in Power Query and I loaded it to Power Bi.  The Date Column in my Calendar table in Power Query Edit mode looks fine.  All the dates are in the order that I want them in.  However, the loaded table in Power Bi which is the table that shows up by clicking the Data Icon is a mess.  My Calendar Date Column shows all the Weekday dates and then lists the weekend dates. Why is this happening?

In the Data View, right click on your first column and choose Sort Ascending. In DAX, the row order doesn't matter. Usually it displays as expected, but it is not a big deal if it doesn't.

I sorted by column yymm in my calendar table but now when I drag days to my matrix table the days are in alphabetical order.  Sorry i'm just learning DAX and Power Bi.  I appreciate the patience of this community for the new people.  Days Sorting in Alphabetical Order in Visual.jpgSort by YYMM in Calendar TBLE.jpg
