Matrix Sort Order by Month and Year Problem
I have a date table with added columns, created a relationship, date slicer and matrix visual and cannot seem to find the reason the sort wont work correctly. December should not be first. I would like to sort by month/year with the oldest first. I also have the date table marked as date. What am I missing?
Thank you,

Mond - Your suggestion got me in the ball park for the next step. I'm sure you would have done something similar but I found an answer here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/how-to-sort-Date-MonthYear-column/td-p/102700
I did what Tri Nguyen suggested by adding another numerical column which I could sort my MonthYr column by. It is multi to multi relation but not text. Worked perfectly. Thank you both!

you can sort Month by Date instead. Click on your Month in the Fields pane --> Modeling Ribbon --> Sort by Column and select Date

NickNg278 - If I understand correctly I have already done that.

Anonymous,
select Date instead of Month (Default)
