ORDER BY with Date Format


I am trying to create an order by in a select statement that takes a
standard 'date' column in a table and sorts the returned data by the month
of that date.

Off hand, I tried

ORDER BY start_date(m)

And I know that is wrong. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

-Mike
