@Anonymous , Create a sort column and mark that as the sort column for the month

Example date table 

Month Sort   = month([Date])

Month = format([date],"MMMM")

 

Sort month on Month Sort : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-sort-by-column

I fixed it, my problem was not specifying the Month nr key correctly, it's ok now. Thank you for your help too, that also does the trick!
