Evening There.

The easiest way to do this is to add a second Field to your table that holds the data for your month number. Your table would look something like this...

MonthID MonthName
1 January
3 March
12 December
2 February
10 October
9 September
5 May

From there, you can run the following statement and it will provide the record in the order of the Month's numerical value, ascending from 1 to 12.

"SELECT MonthName FROM Months ORDER BY MonthID ASC;"

Good Luck.
