If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. I've searched though my resources and online, and perhaps my newbie frustration is making me overlook something simple.

What I'm trying to do is sort by a column with by pre-set criteria; I've a political database with events with columns for the year, month, day, and event. I'd like to order by months, (e.g. JAN, FEB, MAR, etc...) after sorting by year. The sorting by year part was easy... the months are another matter.

We cannot answer your question, because you have stated your requirements without telling us how your data values actually are represented. I suppose the years are stored as integers, but how are months stored?
