Hi

Below is a query which returns the latency over month by cust_id. Events contain fields as month=April, month=May etc

...| chart  max(Avg) as Avg, max(Max) as Max, p95(P95) as P95 over month by cust_id  useother=f limit=40 |sort  -Max, -P95 

The query shows result in sorted by month name since month is a string. How do i sort by calendar series and display as a chart ?![alt text][1]
