Hi, I built a table of our products using Kibana, I select order by alphabetical. However, as you can see from the picture, Rome is above Abacus, Ballista which is not ideal. Another problem is 2019-07-05 appears on the right side of the graph, why is this happening.

That sort is not the one displayed in the graph, it's the sort for Elasticsearch to use:  
It gets all the platform\_name.keywords in the data, gets the top 10 alphabetical from those and only performs the aggregations on those terms. If you want to sort the table you just need to click on the little arrows next to the field name on each column.  
For the second part, could you expand the second bucket setting for "Split column", the one with the Date per day?
