    Months not sorting properly in pivot table

    I have a dataset that has year and month (formatted "Mmm") as separate columns. When I pivot that dataset, for some reason the months continually sort as:
    Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb... Sep.

    I'd like the year to start with January. Not sure why it won't. Have looked at everything obvious, and have used pivot tables many times. Never saw this before. Sample attached.

    Any ideas?

    Re: Months not sorting properly in pivot table

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.
