Vis created from a csv file that was extracted from some Met Police data. It is the Police headcount Lambeth 2012-2014 dataset. The series in the csv file is month by month from Jan 2012 through to June 2014. However, when graphed, the sequence changes to one with all the Jans together, then all the febs, Mars and so on, or roughly like that. Not the order in the csv file.

It may be that the csv file was tacky. In a text editor it looks OK, just wondering what are the rules that the DU followed to change the order from that in the csv file?

Research direction
Begin with the live-site visualization and the Police headcount Lambeth 2012–2014 CSV described in the report, comparing the CSV's month sequence with the graph and checking the attached screenshot. Done means the graph either preserves the Jan 2012–June 2014 order or documents the ordering rule and the issue has a confirmed resolution.
