And if we sort the other way, March will come first, then January, followed by February. How can we get Excel to sort chronologically month wise without alphabetizing?

When you are making this selection, it is very important to check to ensure that your entire table is highlighted before proceeding. If there are blank rows, then they may cause the Ctrl + A shortcut to only highlight part of the table; this will mess up your sorting or only partially sort the data. Alway...
