Answer 1

If you do not add years, it is impossible. The reasoning is because there is no way to tell which January or any month came first.

The only solution you have to to simply order them by YEAR first, then by MONTH.

So unless you change the field into a DATE format or include a YEAR column, you can't do anything. Unless you want to arrange them by ID; which was entered first.

So in short: No YEAR = no way.
