Numbers will not sort months correctly

Whether I sort using the individual column or the sort function I get two lots of months. By that I mean it goes from Jan to December then Jan to December again in the same column.


I am using Numbers on mac

Change the format back to "Automatic" (or use undo to get back to the column formatted as "Automatic or Date")

you can add another column named "Month Number" in the example below:


User uploaded file


B2=MONTH(A2)


this is shorthand for... select cell B2, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:

=MONTH(A2)


to fill down, select cell B2, copy

select cells B2 thru the end of column B, or as needed, paste


now sort on "Month Number" rather than the name
