Sorting the dates in x-axis

I have dates in the following format like

d-4 28-Jan

d-3 29-Jan

d-2 30-Jan

d-1 31-Jan

d0 1-Feb

d1 2-Feb

d2 3-Feb

How to arrange dates in this order in x-axis, i used both the sort by number and text, but the order is changed.

Ah, OK. It looks like the issue is that your TransMonth is currently just a text field, where I'd guessed it was a month() field. How about this?

date(date#(TransMonth&TransYear,'MMMYYYY'),'MMM YYYY') as TransMonthYear

Also, you might want to turn your TransMonth into a month() instead of text, which will let it sort properly in your list box and charts:

month(date#(TransMonth&TransYear,'MMMYYYY')) as TransMonth
