Custom Date Sort

Hello,

 

I have the below date table:

smc1906_0-1621265744061.png

I can sort the Months by "MonthNumber" which is great, but I actually need to sort by a different order. I am working from September to August, so I actually need September to be month number 1. How can I add a custom sort order column to this table, so I can define September as month 1?

 

Thanks!
