Hi Greg,
the scatter plot takes its information whether an attribute is numerical/categorical from some DB statistics. 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?
Regards, Lukas

Hi****
I find BaseX a very powerful tool.****
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.****
Best Regards****
