The month order as a column heading is in the correct order except that Sep 
is at the very end rather than after Aug.  I'm new at working with pivot 
tables and have been unsuccessful in researching and correcting the problem.

Thanks.

The problem is you are using month names, which Excel, naturally sorts into 
alphabetical order. Your choices are:

1. Use month numbers -- at least they will sort properly.
2. Use the full date, which you can format to display just the month name. 
You the display that you want. and your results will be sorted properly.

Regards,
Fred

Alternatively, Tools>Options>Custom Lists and create a list of Months in the 
order you want them.
Then set the Pt to Sort Ascending on Month and it will use the Custom List 
order.
