What is default sorting for excel 2010 pivot table and charts I have a "Year month Week" column in my data sheet which I am using as row label, excel pivot table renders it arbitrarily

like in data sheet I have data in the following order

2010 October Week 1
2010 September Week 1
2010 September Week 2 
2010 September Week 3
2010 September Week 4

but when I use this in pivot table it generates row labels as

2010 October Week 1
2010 September Week 3
2010 September Week 2 
2010 September Week 4
2010 September Week 1

I want pivot table to show row labels exactly in the same order as it is in data sheet
