Another to_date() question

Hello,
I've got a SQL statement that pulls data based on to_date('January 2000', 'Month yyyy') that returns results, but it is not calendar aware. The order by won't let me sort by 'calendar position', instead it just sorts alphabetically by the month. Here is my statement:

SELECT to_char(a.row_add_tms, 'Month yyyy') as row_add_date, b.DCMNT_CLASS_TYPE_DESC,a.dcmnt_class_seq_nbr, sum(a.img_qty) img_qty
FROM dcmnt_cmit_cnt a, dcmnt_class_type b, rpt_grp_type c
WHERE a.DCMNT_CLASS_SEQ_NBR = b.DCMNT_CLASS_SEQ_NBR
AND c.rpt_grp_typ_cd = '3' AND c.rpt_grp_typ_cd = b.rpt_grp_typ_cd
AND a.row_add_tms >= to_date('January 2000', 'Month yyyy')
AND a.row_add_tms <= to_date('December 2004', 'Month yyyy')
GROUP BY a.DCMNT_CLASS_SEQ_NBR, to_char(a.row_add_tms, 'Month yyyy'), b.DCMNT_CLASS_TYPE_DESC
ORDER BY to_char(row_add_tms, 'Month yyyy'), b.dcmnt_class_type_desc;

Any suggestions?
Thanks, -Rick

Your problem lies in
you are not ordering by a date, but by a char, so it
Use the original field.

That had occured to me yesterday after I posted. Thanks-
