Sorting a table using multiple columns
Hi All, Is it possible to sort a table using multiple columns? My table looks like this and i would like to sort by "Year" first and then by "Month". Is it possible?
I see this tread is quite old, but sorting a visual by one column and then a second column is as simple as clicking the 1st column header to sort ascending or decending. Then simply hold the <Shift> key down and click on the header of the second column.
Of course you can just keep the <Shift> pressed and click on a 3rd, 4th etc until happy.
I hope this helps.

Coming from a Tableau environment, I don't understand why this functionality doesnt exist in this tool.
Sorting by mulitple columns is very basic stuff in Excel.
Sorting within Power Query is not a good solution; a different VIZ, using the same data, might require a different sort.
