    Hi BratKat 

    You ca create a sort by column 

    MonthDayNumber =
    VALUE (
    MONTH ( 'Work Items'[Team Date 01] ) & DAY ( 'Work Items'[Team Date 01] )
    )

    Select the MonthDay column, go to column format - sort by column and select the MonthDayNumber column.

        Got this working, forgot to add "Year" in the data item, so now it sorts correctly, thank you.
