I guess
Code:
cat Jan Feb Mar Apr Mar Jun Jul

is out of question, right? Smilie

Well, why don't you create an environmental variable with the contents "Jan Feb ... Dec". That will make your life much easier.
Then you can play with "cut" command. You can set the field range of 1-6, be sure to define the delimiter to space (quote it) and if you need the contents of the files, backquote them to a cat command.

That's fast and dirty.

If you need something more elaborate, consider using an interpreted language that supports hash tables (dictionaries) like perl or python.
Something like
{'Jan':1, 'Feb':2, ... 'Dec':12 }
And sort it by value.

Hope that helps.
