attribute value of a field in a specific order of my attribute

 

I have an issue as I would like to sort my output kml file in a hierarchical way. I have for the moment sort by country (alphabetic, 1order), by year(numeric,2 order) and I would like to sort now by month but not in an alphabetical way, but from jan, feb, mar...... That means in a monthly order. I have got the value in a field of my shapefile, but I do not know how to display it correctly by month.

 

 

Does anybody know the way to do it ?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Use an attributevaluemapper to assign a number to a month

 

so

 

Jan = 1

 

Feb  = 2

 

Mar = 3 etc. and then sort by this new attribute

Hi,

 

Thank you for your answer.

 

I tried to add attributevaluemapper on my long process but it did not work. Maybe I did not add the right parameters or I did not add this attributevaluemapper at the right place. Could you tell me if there some parameters to add?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Arnaud
