Hi,

 

You can a calculated column to get month numbers

Then sort the Month Name column by Month Number column

 

Month_Number =
SWITCH (
    [MONTH_Name],
    "August", 08,
    "December", 12,
    "July", 07,
    "November", 11,
    "October", 10,
    "September", 09,
    "April", 04,
    "February", 02,
    "January", 01,
    "March", 03,
    "May", 05,
    "June", 06
)
