Gantt Chart - Sorting Issue
On the Modeling ribbon you will find an option to Sort a column... by another column. I would try that out...
Unfortunately this action does not affect any reaction to Gantt Chart, as you can see from the screen below (sorry but it is in italian) I choose ID column, then Sort by Column -> then I choose "Nome Task" (task name).
In the modeling i see that effectively the rows was sorted by the correct way, but Gantt completely ignore any sorting.
In Gantt Chart, no matter how you set the sort order for your column, it will sort the Categories based on StartDate only.
Regards,
The last time I used this was about 2 weeks ago at which time it was possible to choose which column to sort by, by clicking on the ... at the top-right of the gantt visualisation, but this option no longer appears:
So it seems that something has changed; is there a team at Power BI or GitHub or somewhere else that could advise if/when the functionality will return?
Thanks,
I came across the same issue and reached out to the software engineer of the visual noting the problem and he replied sayingthe following:
Gantt chart doesn’t support custom sorting. This visual always sorts values by date or category if date field isn’t filled.
We’ll improve Gantt visual and allow custom sorting.
