I withdraw my comment that B is wrong. I did not realize that MonthID also contains the Year. So, B is correct.

Tested, B right, A wrong. When I sort [Month] by [Date], it showed Error due to 1 Month can contain so many different dates. But Month to MonthID is One on One relationship.

Can you clarify why it cannot sort on the Date Column? I understand why B is correct, but would like clarity on why the wrong answer is indeed wrong.

Sorting like suggested in B would first give all the Januaries (i.e. Jan 16, Jan 17, Jan 18) then all Februaries (Feb 16, Feb 17, Feb 18) etc. So this is not chronological. You need to sort after date --> Answer A.

Your sort order is Wrong. If sort order is month id 201601 would follow 201602 would follow 201603.

A is correct, [MonthID] is the same for all rows, so there is no way to use these values to order the dates chronologically.

MonthId is not same. Since the sample data is only from January, doesn't mean the entire table is like that. For every month, a unique ID will be there. So the correct answer is defenitely B.

I think Both A and B will work, But B seems to be more logical

Answer "A" will not work because it doesn't include a unique value for every month but MonthID has a unique value for every month
