x-axis sorting incorrectly

I have a field called payment bucket that I calculate in SQL. When I drop ot into PowerBI it sorts it in the correct alphabetical order.

a) <-16  come first

then

b) -11 to -15 

 

and so on

 

Now I calculated the same field but using the Grouping capability of Power BI.

When i drop this into the same chart the axis is in reverse alphabetical order:

k) 16+

j) 11 to 15

 

and so on. Why is this and how do I fix it?

Ah I figured it out. For anyone searching - in the top right of the chart after clicking on ...

instead of clicking on the text portion that says 'Sort by ...' move the mouse cursor a little to the left and click on the Z->A  to change the ordering.

 

Wasn't immediately obvious that this was a distinct place to click on.
