Sorting on a logical date column should be consistent across visualization types.

Currently a logical column (e.g. CAST ('01-' || MMM-YYYY) AS DATE)) sorting within a table does correctly use the implicit sort order defined in the RPD, a chart type does not sort using the same implicit sort order.

Per O Support:

The SortKey function should only be used on simple column references. The SortKey function should not be used on more complex expressions like CASE WHEN or CAST().

    This sounds more like a bug than an enhancement, and should be addressed by Oracle accordingly.
