Pivot Table - Missing Year (Row Label?)

I have a workbook that contains a pivot table. I use this for each of the accounts I handle for my job tracking historical data for the account. I have used this numerous times over the past year+ without incident. Today, though, I was looking at my pivot table and noticed that one of the years (2019) is missing. I've checked my table that is being used as the data source and everything seems to be fine. Here's a shot of what's happening on the pivot table (ignore the 4th column, it's calculated from the 2nd and 3rd):

And here's the corresponding data from the source table:

As you can see, the corresponding values for 2019 are pulling to the pivot table... just not the year. Now, here's an oddity that truly baffles me. In my attempts to "reset" the source data, I copied the value in B37 (2017) and pasted it to B39. Refreshed the pivot table and it aggregated it under the 2017 year row. I thought... oh, it's fixed. But if I replace the 2017 with '2019', it reverts to the problem scenario. This includes if I take the copied '2017', delete the '7' and replace with a '9'. I just don't get it. Thoughts?

Have you accidently renamed 2019 in the pivot to " "?

Try typing 2019 over the blank (or space) in the pivot

Just tried it. It will allow it, and... typing it in one section automatically updates the field in each other section. However, if I then refresh the data, it stays out of order (remaining below 2020). I think the problem has to be somewhere in either the source table or the way it is pulling the data over. As I mentioned previously, if I change the year on the source table from 2019 to 2017, it aggregates that info on the pivot table under 2017 successfully.

Thought I'd test something out. I deleted '2017' from its row in the source table. When I did that, I now have two rows without a year in the pivot - 2017, represented by "(blank)" and 2019, represented by "". Weird.

Also, I've tried changing the formatting of the '2019' cell in the source table. I've tried text, number & general and refreshed the pivot after each change. Same results. I'm stumped.

If it is out of order still, just click the cell with 2019, hover the mouse to the top border and hold left click to drag it into place. When you refresh it will stay there
