Sorting by date not working??

Hi all.  I've looked through the other solutions to this, but none of them seem to be working for me.

 

I have a field "Date" in my data in the format of DD/MM/YYYY which I want to use in a line graph:

In my load statement above, I've tried to get Qlik to recognise the days as a number so it'll put them in the right order, however when put into a line graph, the order is seemingly random?

I need the dates in date order, ascending from left to right. but Qlik is putting them in a random order and I can't work out why???

In the sorting options, I've sorted numerically, ascending by the Date field.

 

Does anyone have any idea why its not putting them in order?
