07/12/2022, 6:56 PMHi Seye,
the dates were loaded as regular attributes instead of date attributes, that’s why they are being sorted alphabetically. Please reload the dataset as a date dataset for it to work properly. You can also add a date dataset as explained here: Manage Custom Date Dimensions

07/12/2022, 7:17 PMCan you please follow one of the accepted date formats as specified here: CSV File Requirements. Once you follow the correct format, you will be able to specify the correct data type from the drop down menu.
