I am brand new to Power BI and running into what seems like should be an simple issue but I cannot find the answer. I have the chart below with MONTH and YEAR on the axis. I have created a YEARMONTH column I would like to use for the sort to so the dates below appear in order. Problem is, I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the current sort. The sort button is greyed out and I appear to be missing the 'data' icon on the far left that others seem to have.
Any ideas how I can regain use of the 'Sort By Column'? Thanks.

Hi @mhoffmann ,
If the data type of the field that you have put in X-axis is not a sigma (∑) value like Whole number, Decimal number or Fixed decimal number, you can click three dots in the visual and use sort by function directly.
You can refer the following Microsoft document and similar case for further information that could also help you:

Thank you both for your answers. Using both of them I was able to get everything sorted as needed. Much appreciated!
Create a Month year and month year sort column in your Date table
Month year = format([Date],"MMM-YYYY")
Month year Sort = format([Date],"YYYYMM")
Use Month year Sort one as sort column
