Month & Week Number in a Tabular Grid

I was asked to re-create in Power BI a tabular report where the dates have been manually manipulated. The data is derived from a SharePoint list with limited fields. The list contains a month and week of projected and actual billed hours. I have built a custom calendar and linked it to Create Date however, the report is not driven by that date field so it doesn't help and my only real issue is in getting the  "for Month" to sort in my visual. 

Here is the original report:

My version in Power BI

Here is my calendar

Calendar =
var _calendar = CALENDAR("07/01/2021", "12/31/2023")
return
ADDCOLUMNS(_calendar,
"Year", Year([Date]),
"MonthNo", MONTH([Date]),
"Month", FORMAT([Date], "mmmm"),
"Day", DAY([Date]),
"Day No", WEEKDAY([Date],2),
"DOW", FORMAT([Date], "DDD"),
"Quarter", "QTR" & FORMAT([Date], "Q"))
 
Any idea on how to get the month to sort or to add in the dates of the weeks would be super helpful!

    You need to create a sort column and mark that as sort column

     

    Month Year = FORMAT([Date],"mmm")
    Month Year sort = FORMAT([Date],"mm")

     

    Mark Month Year sort as sort column of Month Year

    Thanks for the idea but my calendar was hosing things up so I took it out of the mix, used the Create date from SharePoint and then created sort on that date. As always...I appreciate this community!!!
