Cross Tab - Dates in column are alphabetical - need them in correct order

Hi all -

 

I have a cross tab with Months as column headers, e.g. Jan, Feb etc...

 

However, the Cross Tab function puts the months in alphabetical order - see attached image. i.e. Apr, Aug, Feb etc...

 

I need the data to be shown in 'normal' Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr order.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

hey @RDF25087 what I do in this situation is create a formula and create a new column called month sort and then just assign a number to each month ie:

 

If [month] = 'January' then 1 and so on for the other months.

 

Then before you cross tab sort on the month sort column you just made
