We are trying to make a simple radio button display to put into a dashboard, and the date is in the format YYYY-Month. The default order is alphabetical, so the information is displayed 2018-August, 2018-December, 2018-July, and so on. (This is for FY19 data only, minus July.) So, one of my managers wrote a simple Beast Mode to order the dates in the list in month order, as below:
(CASE
WHEN `Month and Year` = '2018-August' THEN 1
WHEN `Month and Year` = '2018-September' THEN 2
WHEN `Month and Year` = '2018-October' THEN 3
WHEN `Month and Year` = '2018-November' THEN 4
WHEN `Month and Year` = '2018-December' THEN 5
WHEN `Month and Year` = '2019-January' THEN 6
WHEN `Month and Year` = '2019-February' THEN 7
END)
That Beast Mode is then put into the 'Sorting' category, with no aggregation, in ascending order. And yet, the order of the options in the radio button display does not change. Furthermore, it doesn't change when you set it in descending order. I've checked and that column of the dataset is free of extra spaces or misspellings or anything. Please help!
