Sorting Issue in Time Dimension

Hi All,

I created calculated table to have a time dimension.

But when i select Month in slicer then it is not sorting in a proper way. 2019 April comes first before to the 2019 February.

Also while creating calculated table i couldn't able to find calendar icon in prefix of C_Sales_Date same as Sales Date in "Table" Table.

 I know how to sort in normal scenarios but not sure on what to do in calculated tables especially in time dimension.

Any help will be very greatful.

 

Thanks in Advance.
