Default Sorting files titles by month

How do you sort files by month? For example a file called Sept 10, another
one called Oct 27, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Those would not be sorted by month as your saying they are called a month
name, you could sort them by date, as opposed to name.

Are you wanting these file names to appear sorted in a windows explorer
window, or in a text file list? Or something else?
One way might be to choose file names with some kind of standard, sortable
name, like numeric digits representing year, month, and day -- something
like YYYYMMDD. Using file names like Sept 10, Oct 27, etc. might be more
understandable to humans, but creating the algorithm to sort names like this
will be difficult, depending on what all the 'etc.' allows.
