DAX for months selected in a filter - sorting the concatenated list

[Anonymous]

I am concatenating a string to show the months selected in a filter.

I have FiscalMonthNames which run from June to May and display in visuals sorted by a FiscalMonthNo column (January = 8).  The filter on the page starts at June.

The string works fine up until I include January which appears before June. - it is not sorting alphabetically (which I could understand) -  it is sorting by calendar month - where is it getting that from?  Is there a piece I can add to this DAX that will do the sort before I concatenate?

Months Selected = IF(

ISFILTERED('Calendar'[FiscalMonthName]),

VAR months = FILTERS( 'Calendar'[FiscalMonthName])

VAR string = CONCATENATEX(months,'Calendar'[FiscalMonthName],", ")

RETURN string

)

@Anonymous yes you can pass the order by column to get the proper sorting. see example below:

Measure = CONCATENATEX ( ALLSELECTED ( Mnth ), Mnth[Month], "," , Mnth[Sort])
