    It seems you should use a DAX query to build a column that meets your requirements.

    After that you would need to put this column into Row-based Metric Name if you use Row based data.

    As an alternative you might turn off metric name column and use Category data field instead.

I have run into similiar sorting question.  I am not quite sure how DAX query could work for custom sort, I even embed a seperate rank table including table ID, rowID in a rank table, intended to join back to the main reporting table for custom sorting but doesnt work on Matrix or Table format.  

 

Another alternative is to have a rank row build in the report table, the sort could only enabled while the sort field display.  Turning off would remove the sort.  

 

Also tried https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Custom-Sorting-in-PowerBI/td-p/126534 method, but couldn't make the relationship work.  

 

Besides, my team is collaborating with the same file by passing on upon completion, each time the queries point to different path and might had messed up the other embedded functions.  Is there any better way for team collaboration?  The server collaboration doesn't allow download file, if so it would run into the same problem upon editing the DAX queries right?

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

    I am using table and matrix display for display, not even visuals.

      I suggest asking in Desktop topic because it's related to DAX and core components (not custom visuals).

        I would appreciate if you could help find the solution instead of pointing to different direction.  However I had already got the answer and couldn't wait for so many days to exchange message here.  Thats is why I include my phone number at the first place hoping to resolve it in a much quicker fashion.
