The months are currently displayed as numbers 1-12, but I want to convert them to name Jan-Dec, but still keep the sort order correct as Jan-Dec. It is a multi select button I have created, custom object field UI with field Month. Thanks

Yes that part solved thankyou @Taoufiq_Zarra . I have another problem now. I want to have a default on this month selector to select current month via an Action, do you know what the expression should be on the action to do this? Basically when I open the report it should automatically default to the current month selected. Thanks
