Column does not sort correctly

I have the OrderMonthName field in the dates table that doesn't sort me correctly. I have this field sorted by the column Month, column that is numeric from 1 to 12

apenaranda_1-1675937648220.png

As seen in the capture, first puts April followed by August... This is not the correct order.

Do you know what it can be?

Thank you

Well, what you say is fine, although where it goes wrong is a measure:

The measure looks at year, months and a couple of other fields that I am selecting and shows them to me.

ResumenFiltrosUEstadistica =

var anio = SELECTEDVALUE(Fechas[Año])

RETURN

CONCATENATE("Año: ",CONCATENATE(anio,CONCATENATE(UNICHAR(10),CONCATENATE("Mes: ",CONCATENATE(CONCATENATEX(VALUES(Fechas[NombreMesOrdenado]),Fechas[NombreMesOrdenado],", ",Fechas[NombreMesOrdenado]),CONCATENATE(UNICHAR(10),CONCATENATE("Ambito: ",CONCATENATEX(VALUES(Clientes_sql[Ambito]),Clientes_sql[Ambito],", ",Clientes_sql[Ambito],ASC))))))))

When it shows the result it shows them to me as follows:

Hey @Syndicate_Admin ,

 

the order in the filter option is always alphabetical. But in the report it will sort properly.

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Best regards
Denis
