X-Axis Grouping; Greyed Out

Support@WorkplaceEngineers

I have successfully produced a report (Table)
 
Rentable SqFt by Lease Expiration Year and Property"
 
Now I am attempting to produce the same report in a bar graph, with the following assumptions;
 
YAxis = Rentable SqFt
XAxis = 1 bar per property, if that property has an RE Lease expiring that year.
 
Both Expiration Year and Property Name exist as Group bindings in the report (ExpYrGroup, PropNameGroup). From my experience, when I am in the Graph's properties - Select Data tab - I should be able to go to the X-Axis category and set a Sort/Group. However, when I go there, everything is greyed out.
 
I am not able to set a second field to group on at the X-Axis category. Can someone please explain why?
 
Thank you in advance.

What version of BIRT are you using? Also, do you have optional y axis sorting on? I don't see the same on my side, could you attach an example please?

Exported Report for analysis.

This may be a limitation in 2.6.2 BIRT when the chart is inheriting the columns and groups from the container. Opening the report in a 2.6.2 designer I get the same behavior as you however, opening it in a new version such as 4.3.2 allows for modifications and additional options to the sorting/grouping on the x-axis.
 
Have you tried adding the sorting at the table level to see if it effects the chart?
 
Alternatively, you could change the chart to be based on the data set versus the container. This will allow for the grouping/sorting to be set at the chart level.
