    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])

     

     


    Best Regards,

    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.
