    So to help people who got the same problem, the best way to resolve it at the moment is to place the column on the right of the board, go to the focus mode and hide it on the left

Yes but you can only sort the individual visual and not the entire dataset. 

 

To do so, follow this steps,

 

  1. Select the ellipses (...) in your visual and choose Sort by > Dates.

  2. If necessary, select the sort icon  to change to Descending or Reverse for Ascending.

 

Thanks & Regards,

    Thanks for your answer, 

    Ok but when I select the ellipses in my visual, I don't have the possibility to choose Sort By > Dates.

     

    Like you can see on one of my table, when I am selecting the elipse, I can only choose : Export Data or Remove.

     

    So I can't do your solution, 

    To remind I want to have the table, sorted like on the screen shot but i don't want to keep the column "Day". But if I delete it, it's gonna be sorted by the second column "CPC"
