Anonymous please write below formula :
Sorting =VAR DateYear = VALUE(LEFT('Date'[Year], 4))VAR DateMonth = MONTH(DATEVALUE('Date'[Month Number] & " 1"))RETURN DateYear * 100 + DateMonth
Please replace the table and column name according to your table.You are getting an error because you are creating a VARIABLE but not returning the output.

Hi Anonymous
Is your column in date format? I think not because if it was in Date format you can easily sort it.
If this post helps, then I would appreciate a thumbs up and mark it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
