How to show 1 x-axis label while filtering on another

HI,

 

i have a stacked column chart which has Week number as the x axis i.e Week 49, Week 50, Week 51, Week 52. The graph shows the last 12 weeks of data so is currently split over 2 years. if i sort the axis by the week number it treats as text and shows as week 49, week 5, week 50, week 51. when i want it to be Week 49, Week 50, Week 51, Week 52, Week 1, Week 2.

 

i have managed to sort it how i want by prefixing the week number with the year so, 2021451,202151,202152,202201. This works but doesnt look good on the visual.

 

Is it possible to sort by the prefixed year and month, but display 'Week 49', 'Week 50' etc?

 

thanks

 

Gareth
