    HI UditJ 

    Please create another column

     

    SortOrderYearMonth = 
Year(Table[Date])&Month(Table[Date])

     

    Select the Year-Month column and change Sort by to new column


    Let me know if that works for you

    Hi UditJ ,

    Please create a new calculated column:

    Year-Month-Sort = YEAR('Reporting.Digital'[Date])*12+MONTH('Reporting.Digital'[Date])-1

    And sort by this column.

    Best Regards,
