gpt4:

I've never seen the months listed in alphabetical order before.

And it's absolutely breaking my brain. Which is a reaction I did not expect.

It looks so wrong.

It's a bit like the Stroop test.

I wonder if that's why it didn't want to put them in alphabetical order. There is only one valid order for the months.

Same here

A google search returns about 10,200 results for this, gpt4 probably picked up this sequence as well during the training.

Seems like it. I asked it to sort by their second letter and it failed horribly:

Sorting months by the second letter, we get the following order:

1. April 2. January 3. June 4. July 5. March 6. May 7. February 8. December 9. November 10. September 11. August 12. October
