[CLOSED] How to customized sorting order in OLAP dimensions?

The task is simple: sort one or more of the OLAP dimensions in customized order instead of alpha order.

Example: Month is one of the dimensions. In both the dimension list box and the report, it's sorted by webfocus alphanumerically rather than by the natural month order. This can be easily done in a normal report. But how to do it in OLAP?

Thanks.

It has been a while since I looked at OLAP reporting, but I don't think you have any control over that.
What you can do is provide a field in the correct sortable format, like month as a number, for the sort control.
