Hi  @mimigabriel ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

Fiscal Month =
FORMAT('Table'[Date],"mmm") &" "& FORMAT('Table'[Date],"dd")
rank =
FORMAT([Date],"ddmm")

2. Create calculated table.

Table 2 = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Date],'Table'[Fiscal Month],'Table'[rank])

3. Click [Fiscal Month] – sort by column – [rank].

4. Result:

@mimigabriel , this for a month name

 

Month= FORMAT([Date],"mmm")
Month sort = if(month([Date]) <=6, month([Date]) +6 ,month([Date]) -6)

 

Month Year = FORMAT([Date],"mmm-yyyy")
Month Year sort =if(month([Date]) <=6, year([Date]) -1 ,Year([Date])) *100  + if(month([Date]) <=6, month([Date]) +6 ,month([Date]) -6)
