Hi. I don't think you can and it's ok if you think about it. The continious axis means that the value for the axis is a number or date that will show all the values it can inside showing an aggregation in the visual with the size of the visual. This forces the visual to show in scale order by that because it is grouping the axis to show. If you change the sort for a different thing it won't be able to do any of that. If you want to sort by value that's why you can change to categorical to show that order value by value not aggregating the quotatin on the axis.
