    Hi umairarshad ,
    Your month ( text string) should be custom sorted by another column else it will be sorted alphabetically. Create a custom sort column depends on your data model. If you have  separate dates table (which is the good practice), you can create a calculated column MONTH(datestable[date]). If you're using a column from your fact table and month name  is just the month name of a date in your fact t able, you can use the same method. If you are using that  month column that is already in  fact table and there are no dates, you need to create a custom column in Power Query say if [month] = "January" then 1 else if  [month] = "February" else 2 ... else 12
