Sort Date Hierarchy

How do you sort the month in a date hiearchy?

I have a month abbreviation sort column. My table is sorted by DateKey. 

 

It would be nice to set MonthAbbr sort by MonthNumberOfYear just like I would in SSAS. 

I don't want to mess up my DateKey Sort as the default on the table.

I found the answer. In the modeling, click the column and use the Sort By Column button and select the sorting columns.
