sort by

[lab]

Hi,

I am trying to sort by month number...

I have month number in my date table. 

I am selecting the Sort BY column under Column tools, but my chart still does not show it as an option to sort by...

...any insight on what may be going wrong would be appreciated.

@lab , Make sure your mark month year sort as sort column of month year

Month Year = FORMAT([Date],"mmm-yyyy")
Month Year sort = FORMAT([Date],"yyyymm")

or for month

Month Year = FORMAT([Date],"mmm")
Month Year sort = month([DAte])

Thank you.

 In my date table...Month# is a whole number.  

JAn=1

Feb=2

MAr =3 

When I select that column to sort by, shouldn't that have changed my table on the report?

That's not working...

@lab , Sort Asc/desc in three dots. I think that will not come with whole number have one text and another whole number as sort column

Yes, that is what I have, still not working.  Could it have anything to do with my date table being built from a script?
