Card Browser Broken (Sorting doesnt work)

Hello All

An update seems to have been made to the Card Browser visual and broken it (OR since the latest release of Power BI Desktop) and is making the sorting field useless. I am unable to sort by anything other than the DocumentID.

 

Please help, this visual was very useful where I have clients in cards but sorted them by position in the queue.

Is this a problem for others?

Thanks, Patto

 

UPDATE: Ok this is driving me nuts, I had a workaround by being able to sort using the "Preview" column - I had to work some HTML in there to ensure it sorted correctly, but now that option seems to have disappeared too. It seems that now you can only sort by the DocumentID field.

 

Has anyone got any ideas or help please? How can we get this fixed?

Cheers Patto

    Hi patto_factory ,

     

    Can you provide some screenshots of the error? In my test, the sorting works.

      Hi Anonymous 

      I'll get those screen shots happening in the morning (Australia time). 
      What version of power bi desktop are you using? I rolled back to September today and it works again. Could either be a November release issue or perhaps something to do with a preview feature like the formatter pane or something?

      Screenshots coming soon 

      cheers

        Hi patto_factory ,

         

        My desktop version is July 2021.

         

        When I upgraded to the latest version, sort still exists. It's called 'sort axis'.

    Was this ever resolved?  The workaround doesn't seem to work for me. 

     

    I have a faairly extensive database of users/members of our center and use this card to display them and their information.  Without a real sort I get weird results, results that change depending on the order I put the fields into the card and if I delete them, sometimes that ordering remains.

     

    WAIT!!  I just got it to work in an entirely different way.  I put the field IO want to sort by in the document id, I then sort by that field, then I put the field I had there back.

     

    1. DocumentID had ID has it's original field
    2. I want to sort by last name
    3. put lastname in the DocumentID field
    4. sort by last name using the 3 dots menu
    5. change to ascending
    6. replace Last Name in the Document ID field with ID

    SORTING STAYS the SAME!

    Is there any updated to the sorting issue? Even if I add a field in the sorting field, the visual only shows the document id in the sorting options. It's getting kind of irritating that such great visual is impeded by such silly issue.
