Financial Year - Axis order

 

Hi,

 

I'm sure this is a relatively easy fix but cannot see how to do it.

 

I want to FY to be in consecutive order i.e 2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-21 etc... 

As you can see from screenshot below the years aren't in order, can you tell me how I achieve this? 

 

Thanks,FY.PNG

2. add a area chart with table fields, please don't sort axis by "Sale", sort the axis by "FY"

You can sort your FY column by a custom column
