Hello,
I have a transaction table and Date Dimension table where month name in date dimension table is formatted as MMM-YY.
I want month name to be sorted by date (Jan-15/Feb-15/Mar-15/Apr-15 and so on...), with import data I can do the data modelling but seems like modelling is not possible with direct query.
Real question is what is the alternate to sort this month name field by date?
Tnanks,
P

You can try:
In the visual->modeling tab, new a column="01-"&DateDimension[DT], change the column type to date, and the sort by date.
