In your Date table:

Month Number = MONTH ( 'Date'[Date] )

@gra_197  just create a new column and  number the months in order as 

month name   | month number(new column)
january            | 1
feb                   | 2
.....

 in table view , then select month number column and   sort by as shown in image

and then use this month name column it will be always sorted.

In the table view you can sort a column by a different column. In this case you would want to sort the month name column by a month number column.
