Date Format

I have loaded a set of data based on dates.  I have created my chart, but for the life of me I cannot get the data to be sorted by calendar function rather than descending order. 

The date format is DD/MM/YYYY and is recognised as Data in the excel sheet.  

I am trying to amend the sorting category, and sort by this field, however I cannot figure out what the expression should be to organise by chronological order.

How is the input looks like that? And how you are getting data? Can you convert that to Number format like

Num(DateField) as Expression and Ascending order

You can tell Qlikview that your excel column I formatted as DD/MM/YYYY by loading it like this:

LOAD 

DATE#(DateColumn, 'DD/MM/YYYY') as DateColumn,
