Sorting by Month Number

[Gorio]

I am trying to create a report that breaks down by months. However the sort order is incorrect. In the query I created:
MonthNum: Format([DISDATE],"m")
But the report sorts in the following manner: 1, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4 .....
How can I make it sort 1, 2, 3, 4, ....?

Change the query to remove the Format() function and remove the order by clause if you have one since it is redundant. Change the report's sorting and grouping properties to sort by the unformatted date field. Then put the format() function in the controlsource property of the textbox where the date is displayed.

=Format([DISDATE],"m")

Thanks for the help. I'm looking forward to putting it in place.
