Your simulation also includes four summer and three winter design days, so the May days you see plotted first are the summer design days. Example below:

Note the Day of Month and Month inputs above for 21 May on this SummerDesignDay.
If you don't want to include these time-series outputs from design days, set the Run Simulation for Weather File Run Periods to "Off". HOWEVER, note that this will also turn off any summary tables for design days as well.

UPDATE
You need to run a new simulation after making these input changes in order to generate different output files. I've made a modified OSM from the copy on your Google Drive folder, where I've only made the Simulation Control changes below:
You previously had these flipped (Sizing Periods was "on", Weather File Run Periods was "off"). After saving and running a new simulation, the ESO file you plot in DesignBuilder Results Viewer has data for Jan-Dec.
I don't have permissions to upload this modified OSM to your Google Drive folder. If my instructions above are not clear enough, please change the sharing settings in the folder so that I can upload my modified file for you to review.
