Try this Expression:

wildmatch(only({1}Month_field),'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec')


only({1})- with this it wont change the order.

It worked very well for me, but I couldn't understand why Month(MonthAbbr) do not work and Month(Date#(MonthAbbr, 'MMM')) works.

MonthAbbr being the abbreviation for the months names.
