I've Solved this myself ...

string str="Jan-14,Apr-13,Feb-14,May-13,Mar-14,Nov-13,Oct-13,Jun-13,Sep-13,Aug-13,Dec-13,Jul-13";

In String >>>>

string sortedlist = string.Join(",", str.Split(',').OrderBy(s => DateTime.ParseExact(s, "MMM-yy", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)).ToArray());

In ListBox >>>>

listBox1.DataSource = str.Split(',').OrderBy(s => DateTime.ParseExact(s, "MMM-yy", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)).ToArray();
