Hi Power Bi Family,

 

I have Created a Matrix Visulization in that i need to get jan to dec as my columns (Short Names) when I created a column as Short_name=FORMAT([Date],"mmm") then when i used i am geetting as either (A to Z or Z to A),

Again i created Month_number Column =MONTH([date]) i got month numbers ,

Now When ever i sort them they are not working which as i deserved.
