Need help in sorting with a Matrix visual
- 10 months ago
Hi there,
In a Power BI Matrix, you cannot directly sort by fields in lower levels of a hierarchy from the UI. The official solution is to use Sort by Column:
Add a calculated column (or a column in your table) that contains the sort order for the field you want to sort.
Select the field in the Rows → go to Column tools → Sort by column → choose the new sort column.
This allows you to sort any row field without adding it to the Values section.
Official Microsoft Reference:
Power BI: Sort a column by another column
