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'.

       

       

      Best Regards,

        Thanks for your response Anonymous  and apologies for the late reply, I have been super busy with clients leading up to christmas.

         

        I can see that even in your example above, sorting is broken.

        See how you only have the option to sort by the column you put in the DocumentID field?

        Whereas in your earlier version of power bi desktop, you have more sorting options.

         

        **And I note that in the latest PBI Desktop release, the card browser visual doesn't even let you sort by the field you add to the "sortingfield" column in the visual.

         

        Here is my example:

        Pre-november release:

         

         

         

        Post-Nov release

         

        I am now 100% convinced that either that latest release of Power BI Desktop has broken something (and wonder how many other visuals are impacted) or the card browser visual requires an update.

         

        Thoughts??

        Thanks

        Patto
