how to sort a clustered column chart so that the months are in the correct order.

Hi, 

 

I can't seem to figure out how to sort a clustered column chart so that the months are in the correct order (Gregorian calendar). I've sorted the axis by month and descending.

Hey @brightbright ,

 

you have to check if the column that holds the month is sorted by a different color that is interfering.
This is how you can check this:
