Hi @sdhn,

 

You need the month number in your table to sort by. Once you have that, select the text month column and choose sort by, then select Month Number.

Hi Knp,

 

I don't have month number. Please see snap shot below:

Thanks 

 

You'll need to add one. 

There are a few different ways to do this, in DAX, choose new column and enter this...

Month Number = MONTH(DATEVALUE(2021 & "/" & 'Date'[Month] & "/" & 1))

 

You'll need to rename the 'Date'[Month] to match your 'Table'[Column].
