How to sort columns in chart with row-split

Hi,

I need to graph data per Area split by WeekNumber:

| chart Values by Area WeekNumber
Both - Values and WeekNuber are numbers, however WeekNmubers in the graph are sorted as if they are string type ( 10, 11, 9 instead of 9, 10, 11).
alt text
If I swap series:
| chart Values by WeekNuber Area
the WeekNumbers are sorted correctly on X-Axis (9, 10, 11).
alt text
I tried using "sort WeekNumber" and didn't have any impact on column order.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

As a mildly dirty workaround, you could use 09 as your week number - then string ordering will do what you need.

In the chart's format menu's general tab, turn on "show data values".

Thank you Martin, Appending zero did the trick. Wish there was a better way to do this though. Cheers!
