Sort by Month issue in PowerBi Online

Hello All,

 

I am creating a monthly table but the sort option is not displaying the months in the correct order in PowerBi online. Whats the best way to do this. My report is from Excel.

 

See the attached image from powerbi and excel data.

Your Month column has Month names, and is sorted alphabetically.  What you need is a "Month Number"  column that is of Integer type.  You can then use the "Sort one column by another column"  option to sort your Month Name column by the Month Number column.
