In a chart count where days are the column header, how do I get the days to list in chronological order?

I'm trying to get a table where "Days" are the column headers (chronologically) and hours are the row headers that show the total events that happened in each hour per day. Something like this:

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23

I think I have it mostly working with the following:

[code] | chart count over date_hour by date_wday

However, the days in the row headers are ordered alphabetically, not chronologically. So instead of:
Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

What's showing in the chart is:

Friday | Monday | Saturday | Sunday | Thursday | Tuesday | Wednesday

Could anyone please help me figure this out?

Thanks.
