Organize data on column chart from the oldest data to the newest

Hi everyone, I have a column chart and I want to organize my data from the oldest data to the newest. In this case, for an unknown reason the data is organized like this: 2020, Dec / 2020, Nov /2021, Feb / 2021 , Jan
Is shown like this:

YearMonth = FORMAT([Created],"YYYY,MMM")

You need to change your YearMonth definition to 

YearMonth = FORMAT([Created],"YYYYMM")

or introduce a "Sort By"  column that sorts by month number, not by month name.
