Hi aso1 ,
You could try below M code to see whether it work or not.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjTVMzJVitUBssz0jM3ALCMjPQMDiJipsZ4ZlGVmqWdsDFFqZKhnZGgCZMcCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type number}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Number.ToText([Column1]) & " GB"), #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Added Custom",{{"Column1", Order.Ascending}}), #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Sorted Rows", "Index", 0, 1) in #"Added Index"By the way, when you add "GB" after numbert, the column type will change to text, so it will sort by alphabetically. You need to create an index or rank column, then set it sort by index or rank column, it should work.
