    Hi Anonymous,

     

    You need to sort the month name by the month number.

     

    Go to your calendar table if you have one and change the sort order of the month name to sort by month number.

     

    Thanks,

        Hi Anonymous ,

         

        Is it possible to create a column in your existing table which identifies the month number?

         

        You can use month(datefield) to extract the month number from a date field.

         

        If possible, could you share a image on the data table or a list of the columns you have?

         

        Thanks,

        George

    Hi Anonymous 

    You could create a month number column in Edit queries or create a new calendar with month number column, then select the "month name" column and click Modeling->sort by-> "month number" column.

    Please refer to the following:
