Hi @hmeltonPSL ,
Direct Query adds a challenge to this but the easiest way is probably to make two separate DAX columns.
The first one is to create the Month Number like this:
MonthNumber = MONTH('Reports_vwAllWorkOrders'[DATECOMPLETE])
Then, you can use a "Switch" to change the number to words:
MonthName =
SWITCH(
MONTH('Reports_vwAllWorkOrders'[DATECOMPLETE]),
1, "January",
2, "February",
3, "March",
4, "April",
5, "May",
6, "June",
7, "July",
8, "August",
9, "September",
10, "October",
11, "November",
12, "December"
)
Then, sort by the "MonthNumber" but show the "MonthName"

SWITCH worked.
