There might be a better way to do this but how about creating a defined field, decoding JAN to 1, FEB to 2, MAR to 3, etc.

Then your defined field can be your primary BY field, with NOPRINT. Your months should then appear in order.

Cheers

Sounds like your MONTH field is described as USAGE=A3 (alpha) instead of as an actual MONTH date field. If the field is three bytes long, then you can change your master file so that the USAGE is "MT" (Month Translate) and you will get exactly what you want without a DEFINE.

FIELD=MONFIELD, ALIAS=MF, USAGE=MT, ACTUAL=A3,$
