Y axis sorted

Hi all! When visualizing digits (x axis) based on text (y axis), I get texts only sorted alphabetically.

Hi @BIzant ,
You will need to custom sort your categories (or text) from the data tab of Power BI.

Data Tab:

How to Sort - Numbers in image are sequence of clicks:

In above example, Place is sorted by Sales. You will need to create a sort table and do something similar.
