That doesn't seem to work. I have tried filtering it by the month, and does not make a difference. Is there a setting that would allow us to change this order, or a formula in beast mode that may work?

make sure the date field your using is loaded as a date or datetime data type. Also, i would sort the chart by the date field to make sure it stays in order.

Sounds like the date value you are uising is not a Date data type. You have couple of options:

You may want to consider fixing that through your data load process.
Create a Beast Mode calc using a CASE function to map Jan-Dec text values to a numeric sortable value, and drop that into the Sort criteria.
Try converting your data column using the following beast mode and see if that will fix the issue.

STR_TO_DATE('DateCol','%m,%d,%Y')
