Sorting error

Hello Qlik Community,

I'm having some trouble figuring out this problem:

In 2 of my visualizations I use the same dimension and sorting parameters, yet the sorting is different.

In attachment "qlik.png" you can see that the month November is slipping in between the others as "2017-Nov".

In attachment "qlik3.png" you can see the other visualization, where the sorting is correct.

Granted, the sorting is set to "auto" at the moment, yet the other options didn't make a lot of sense either.

The used dimension is described as follows:

    

     =Year(floor([transactions.date])) & '-' & Month(floor([transactions.date]))

I have considered using the wildmatch function as a sorting expression, but that won't let my sort by year first.

Can anyone help me sort this out?

Don't know really know why, but this works

=MonthStart(Min({1}[transactions.date]))
