Month sorting is a special case that needs extra column to have numbers in ascending order of sort and use it as "Sort on" field by clicking on Data Model column for "Month".

I've the smiliar issue with Power BI Matrix table. But not in Excel Pivot table or table. :(.

Still waiting for someone who can help to resolve this or MS Power BI to include same filtering/sorting feature currently had in Excel.
