Description
Sometimes data is returned out of time order from the query engine. The UI plots the points on a sorted x-axis, but does not draw the line in the correct order.
> once you start regrouping rows into different table shapes, the ordering is no longer guaranteed and you'll have to use sort() if you want something particularly ordered

Contributor guide
Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the issue with query data returned out of time order, then inspect the UI path that plots regrouped rows and compare the sorted x-axis with line traversal. Done means the line follows the intended data order while the x-axis remains sorted.
