Is there any way to get which column is selected in a table for sorting

Say I have a table like below.

       Open Job Tables Currently sorted by Job

Name  Date Job (selected to sort by) Status
name 10 7/1/22 dax measure open
Name 2 3/1/22 visual formating closed

 

and I would like to create a measure that would return the Table name and which column is selected to sort the table.  

I know that I can use SelectedValue to return what is selected in a slicer.  Is there a way to find out what column is selected in a table for sorting?

Hi @moltra 

Nice idea. You may try ISINSCOPE in. SWITCH statement 

I tried ISINSCOPE and it does not return anything.
