Something like this might do the trick.
Something like this:
select Month_Name,
case Month_Name
when 'January' then 1
when 'February' then 2
when 'March' then 3
... etc ...
else 13
end as Month_Order
from Your_Table
where Something = Something
order by Month_Order

Why not just write your own function to return a proper date object
based on the string of date you pass in?

Tried this, but since it is not stored as a date but varchar, datepart
will not work.
