Sort month column in chronological order without using calculated column

I have created a metal data column which has months( January, February,..., December). I need to sort it in chronological order (January, February,..., December) but on sorting it gets sorted in alphabetical order. I need to sort the metadata month column in chronological order without using calculated column. Please suggest me some better ways to implement this. Thanks in advance

    You could create your column based on a number field and then change the way it renders (displaying the month name based on the number entered) in List Views using a Field Customizer or JSLink (depending on the version of SharePoint you're using).

      Since you are in SP 2013, I agree with Paul that best option here is to customize your lists using JSLINK
