Date sorting issue in sql server

Feb 15 2018 4:15 AM
Hello,
 
I want to display date, according to last updated but my date sorting is wrong.
 
I need to Result:-
 
Months Request
February 18 4
January 18 60
December 17 32
November 17 7
 
when i tried:-
 
select FORMAT(CreatedDateTime,'MMMM yy') as Months, count(*) as Request from LRequests
group by FORMAT(CreatedDateTime,'MMMM yy')
order by FORMAT(CreatedDateTime,'MMMM yy') DESC
 
so data displaying:
 
Months Request
November 17 7
January 18 60
February 18 4
December 17 32
 
then when i tried:-
 
select FORMAT(CreatedDateTime,'MMMM yy') as Months, count(*) as Request from LRequests
group by FORMAT(CreatedDateTime,'MMMM yy')
order by CreatedDateTime DESC
 
Getting error:-
 
Column "LRequests.CreatedDateTime" is invalid in the ORDER BY clause because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
 
Please help me.
 
Thanks in Advance.
