Hi, @ofir_n1 

According to my test, I can correctly sort the X-axis using the Sort by->Date column in the scatter chart like this:

If you can’t sort by the data column, I think you should first go to check if your date column is the “Date” type rather than the “Text” type, because the “Text” type of date can’t be sorted correctly.

Hi, @ofir_n1 

Have you clicked on the “Sort by column” option for your date column to sort the date column by the value of other columns?

Because it will also lead to the incorrect order of the date column.

If not, I suggest you to share the pbix file with the problem with us so that we can help you to determine if it’s a real bug in Power BI.

Thank you very much!
