Hello Airtable community
I have a formula field which show date as month name only: DATETIME_FORMAT({DELIVERY DATE}, “MMMM”) I wanted to use this field to group each month’s records.
Unfortunately, the sort function does not sort chronologically as it should for a date, but rather alphabetically. How can I force a chronological sort?
Thanks in advance
Sally
Hi Sally. The only way I know how would be like this…
DATETIME_FORMAT({DELIVERY DATE},'MM') & '-' & DATETIME_FORMAT({DELIVERY DATE},'MMMM')
It appends the 2 digit month to the front in order to sort the way you want.

Thank you so much! This will work fine for my purposes!
