Arrange Matrix Columns in a specific order

So I have a matril table with Fiscal Year as the rows and Month as the columns. The issue I am finding is that I want to be able to have the table start with July first because that is when our fiscal year starts. For a bar or column chart it was easy because I could just add my Quarters field to the tooltip and then sort on Quarters. But I wasn't able to do that with the matrix table. 

 

So basically I just want to be able to have it in this order:

July, August, September, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June

1. Add an conditiona column.

2. Then sort the column. Then the dates will appear in the order you want them to.
