Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Create a year_month number column based on the month name, then select the month name column, click sort by column button, and select sort by month number.

 

Year_Month number = Year(Sheet2[Date])*100+MONTH(Sheet2[Date])

@Anonymous Create a new column like:

Column = LEFT('Table'[Month Name],3)

@Greg_Deckler  - I can do that but data doesn't display in sorted order.. Eg: Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.
