I want to sort a date field and have it put in order by months, ignoring the
year. Is this possible?
 
Introduce an extra column. If your dates are in A, then B1 is

=MONTH(A1)

Copy down as far as needed. Now sort both columns, but use B as the sortkey

The easiest way is to use and additional column containing a
formula to return the month, and sort on that column. For
example, in an empty column, enter the formula

=MONTH(A1)

and copy down as far as you need to go. Then, sort by this
column.
