Sorting Month Names in Calendar Order

12571 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  WendyM
I have a list of data (for learning purposes) where one of the fields is the name of the month, i.e., a text field. If I sort on this field, it sorts months in alphabetical order.......April, December, February, etc. I would like it to sort in calendar order....January, February, March, etc.

Is this possible in Excel? in either '03 or '07?

I know I can do it in a pivot table, but I want to change the raw data to sort in calendar order.

Thanks

Yes, in 2007, you can drop down the sort & filter arrow and choose Custom Sort. In the Order field, select Custom List and it will bring you a list of choices, one of which is by month. Hope that helps.
