[SOLVED] ACROSS Values Sorting to Match Excel

Hi All

Creating report to replicate Excel Reports. User wants the report to exactly look like Excel Report.

Excel Report has Income row ACROSS YearMonths as following
Aug-12 Sep-12 Oct-12 ...
Income 999.99 999.99 999.99
..
..
In WF When I use I6YYMM it works fine in the same order as the excel report. I edited the field to make it look like the excel format.. but the order gets messed up see below

Apr-13 Dec-12 Feb-13 Jan-13 Jul-13 Jun-13 Mar-13 May-13 Nov-12 Oct-12

perhaps what is needed is smart date format which can display 3 Letter Month name with the two Digit Year.. The above I DEFINEd Month to 3 Letter Mon and concatenated with 2 position of the year. It looks same excel but ACROSS sorting is not matching..

Looked in the manuals and searched this site, did not come across this issue..

I thought I check with the Gurus here.

Thanks
