The checkbox for the log scale in your provided screenshot is deactivated - most likely because BaseX assumes that the TIME attribute is categorical. This explains the lexicographic order and the different casing (e-01 / E-01). A quick fix could be to convert the exponential to decimal representation (if you need the plot at the moment). For now I'm filing an [issue] on GitHub. Is it possible that you supply us with a part of the document that reproduces the issue?

One thing I noticed however is that it misunderstands numbers in scientific notation in the scatter plot display. Please see the attached plot. The samples should form a rough diagonal line. However, look at the scale on the left and you can see the exponent field is 'dis-continuous'. It looks like the chart formatter treats it as a non-scientific number or possibly even lexicographic order.

Yes I did in XQuery a subtract of 0 and made a new XML DB to work around this. The document has some sensitivity - I can create a new DB on only the field that we are interested in here if you want? Bear with me and I'll send it later today if so.
