Remove Sort from Graphs

When I sort by age group on the graphs it does not filter correctly, it puts ages 5-9 in the middle and not right after 0-4. I would like to turn off the sort on the graph so it just appears as the data appears in the table. Can this be done?

Hi @JJL_Ptbo ,

 

If you want to sort the X axis, you need to have reference columns.

Because your current 5-9 is text, you can't sort it.

In fact, the x-axis can be sorted correctly by adding indexed columns.

You can try this method:

This is my test data:

When I use this table to sort by year column, I got the result below:

vyinliwmsft_1-1665729729394.png

It is the same quertion with you.

So I add an index column in Power Query:

And then I got the table like this:

vyinliwmsft_3-1665729832578.png

Then you can choose the year column and select the Sort by Column:

vyinliwmsft_5-1665729949605.png

 

vyinliwmsft_4-1665729917641.png

Finally you can sort it correctly:

Hope this helps you.
