Matrix MonthName column showing out of order

 

I have a date dimension table sorted based on the unique date field and even then I am running into below MonthName Year showing out of order.

Any help is greatly appreciated to fix these column orders.

You can create a month sort column like

Moth year sort = format([Date],"YYYYMM")

And mark it as sort column

Looks like the mistake I have done was, I am applying the sorting by Date on a Column which is not being used in Report.

After Applying the sort for MMM YYYY column based on Date filed the issue was fixed.

 

Thank you @amitchandak @Greg_Deckler

You typically need to create a MonthSort column like MonthSort = MONTH([Date]) and then you set the Sort By for you column to sort by MonthSort.
