Interactive sorting for adjacent groups in Power BI Report Builder

Hello

I have a question regarding paginated reports creation in Power BI Report Builder.

Is it possible to setup interactive sorting for two adjacent groups?

 

As an example:

I have two row groups: subtotals for sources (SourceSubTotal) and the group for customers (Customer).

One of the table columns displays total number of orders summed for each source or customer. I'd like to use this column for interactive sorting, so both sources and customers will be sorted the same way. But sorting menu allows me to select only one group. 

I tried to use different options of "Apply this soting to all groups and data regions in", but seems like it doesn't affect anything.

    Hi Frostwind ,

    You can refer the following official documentation to get it:

    Add interactive sort to a table or matrix in paginated reports

     

    If the above one can't help you get the expected result, could you please provide the following info for the further troubleshooting?

    • Provide some sample data for these two groups
    • Row Groups settings
    • Visual settings(Table, Matrix or other?)
    • The expected result base on the previous sample data

    Best Regards

      Hello Anonymous 

      Thank you for the reply. I read the documentation, but was not able to find a solution there.

      You can check the minified report example here: download PBI Report file 

      The desired result is to apply interactive sort to both Customer and SourceSubtotal groups.

        Hi Frostwind ,

        What's your expected result base on the sample data? The below screenshot is what you want or not? Do you want to sort the sum of order base on both Custom and Source? 

        Best Regards
