Hi @kapilkathuria,

Welcome to the :grafana: community forum !!

It seems to be more related to the SQL query which needs to be defined correctly so that it can show the months in the correct sequence.

Please follow the following reference links as it might be helpful to get your desired result.

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/date-and-time-functions.html

and

The best way will be to first execute your query inside the MySQL shell to see if it gives you the desired result and then use the Grafana->Exploer and there build your query by using the “Edit SQL” and then put the values there (either in the template or your own custom way),

Hope it helps
