We won't do your homework for you, so unless you show some effort and tell us what you've tried so far we won't support any cheating on your part.

Ok... fine...but I am not getting anything in my mind.... Please provide me some hint, so I can try to think about it....

why dont you write the logic in your own english words ( step by step )
then, we see what are the commands we can use it to achieve your output

Try reading the man pages on sed and grep. It is not as hard as you think. You can use the | (pipe) command.

I guess

Code:

cat Jan Feb Mar Apr Mar Jun Jul

is out of question, right?

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.
