I’m trying to sort the X-axis in my Noloco chart so that it runs from Q1 to Q4. However, I can’t seem to find any options in the chart settings to achieve this.

 ![Screenshot 2024-08-23 at 6.08.03 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/noloco/original/1X/de8827ec9b0af08b2dd8371d95f0dfa9e4c4aca5.png)

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a workaround or a setting I might be missing? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Darren, we actually reccomend you use the Date field of your data, and then choose the “Group by Quarter” option, this way we will automatically sort it by time rather than highest to lowest (which is what’s happening here)

Came to upvote this - I have a client that wants the data grouped by a specific naming convention, so would like to sort by other fields.
