Sorry - when I am looking at your chart images they both seem to be sorted based on US date format correctly. 

Can you help me where is it not sorted properly? So far everything looks ok.

I see...Shouldn't your argument scale type be DateTime?

What about Numerical?

I would also check how the date field is created in Qlik Sense. What is the field tag in data model? Is it text field, or dual or numericalel,date, integer.....

It is not Date. You can see that it is left alligned which indicates that it is a TEXT!

The field type I was talking about you can see in Data Model Viewer when selecting field - there you will be able to see field type.

@Ruggero_Piccoli - do you have any insights on what type of data is supported as argument (DateTime) ?

This is confusing. In model you showed me Date and on chart you use EntryDate dimension. Is this the same field?
I dont know what else i can suggest…

like i mentioned in previous post you may try to use numerical sorting which in case of date is used typically in qlik sense to allow for proper date sorting…
