Custom Sort for Matrix Column - Alphabetical but Move 1 Entry to End

I have a table with multiple entries, and I need a custom sort that keeps the alphabetical order, but always moves 'Other' to the end. So this:

Data

Apple

Banana

Orange

Other
Pear
Squash

 

Should become this:

Data

Apple

Banana
Orange
Pear
Squash
Other

Hi @Brotedo 
Here is a sample file with the solution https://www.dropbox.com/t/UlPm1CBMkhWfRtnZ 

Rank Measure = 
VAR SelectedData = ALLSELECTED ( Table1[Data] )
VAR CurrentData = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[Data] )
RETURN
    IF ( 
        CurrentData = "Other", 
        COUNTROWS ( SelectedData ) + 1,
        RANKX ( 
            SelectedData, 
            CALCULATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Table1[Data] ) ),, 
            ASC, 
            Dense 
        )
    )
