When I build a graph or a control chart with it on the x axis the dates are not in order. How can I make them in order? Thank you in advance for your help.</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="donadristi_0-1753798068935.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.jmp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/79135i7962AF6AD980C966/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="donadristi_0-1753798068935.png" alt="donadristi_0-1753798068935.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 29 Jul 2025 14:08:39 GMT https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-do-I-get-my-Date-in-Month-and-year-in-order-on-the-x-axis/m-p/890305#M105221 donadristi 2025-07-29T14:08:39Z https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-do-I-get-my-Date-in-Month-and-year-in-order-on-the-x-axis/m-p/890348#M105222 <P>Can you format them into dates instead of characters?
