Tabular SSAS - not grouping properly when using a sort by column?

I have a tabular model with a date hierachy showing month name and year, I am sorting the monthname by my fulldate (so they dont' appear in alphabetical order in PBI) however when I drag measures against this hierarchy it isn't grouping properly.. see the attached image

Is there something obvious I am doing wrong?

Hi, @Anonymous ;

You could try sort by another column (Date).

Select Sort by Column, then select the field you want to sort the other field by, in this case, Date.

@Anonymous , You should sort month by month no, you have sorted by full Date, I doubt that
