I only check my reports each morning, but for some time now whenever I look at "month to date", e.g. September, the report doesn't put the results in chronological order. What I get is the wholly random:
12th September 7th September 1st September 9th September
Do others experience this? If so why? No matter how hard I look, I seen no logical pattern of ordering.

I don't know where you are settng "month to date" or in what screen. Are you on the new reports or the old ones? On the Home screen or the Performance Reports?

I thought the old ones, I suspect the new one has stealthily crept in. I am simply used to going to:
Last 28 days/Dates on top RH side/this month September [they're under performance reports]
Then I get this weirdness now.

Oh - yea I dunno why they do that, but you can click on the words (date / impressions / clicks etc) and sort it, and then save it as the default report.
Make sure you use the Overview tab to get the full picture though - the Clicks tab doesn't show everything (at least it doesn't show me everything) like search, or CPM ads, and I'm not even positive if it shows link units.
(I'd sure like to know what hallucinogenics the interface designer was on when he came up with this)

I wish reports even worked in iPhone. Since the last redesign it's impossible to set different date ranges. Talk about a webpage being non mobile friendly.

Thanks Netmeg, I'll check later. Anyway it wasn't me on hallucinogenics then.

Clicking "Date" - literally sorted it.
Thanks, I'll never know what the alternative was supposed to represent.
