FFT IP not behaving as expected.

I'm trying to use the FFT IP on Quartus Prime Pro 18.1 to do an inverse fft. When I input an fft of a signal I created in Matlab that has a frequency of 23, I do not get the expected output signal. W...

Is the input data compliance with the single floating-point format? Does it work well with FFT before proceeding with iFFT? How about if change the input order to natural?

The input data is in single floating-point format. When I change the input setting of the IP to natural input and input the signal in it's normal order, I get a very noisy output that is not at the desired frequency. When I use this natural input setting and input the data in radix-4 digit reverse order, I get a frequency spike at 86 instead of 23.
