Avoid Alphabetical Sorting

Hello 

 

I'm taking over a dashboard and would like to change the x-axis, which represents the month, to the name of the actual name of the month. But it keeps sorting it alphabetically - what could I be doing wrong?

Thanks

Create 2 columns in your table off of your date field. One for the number of the month and one for the name. Select the name column and change the Sort By to the numeric column.
