Change order bars stacked column chart

Hello

In my Power BI I have a stacked column chart with 4 bars: Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4.
What do I have to do to get them in the right order?
Thank you in advance
Louis

    Hi louisquinet ,

     

    It looks like it's sorting by the number after tier, you can get the number by splitting it with power query first and then set it up with sort by column:

    One can notice a change in the sorting from my first post.

    = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Text After Delimiter", each Text.AfterDelimiter([Tier], " "), type text)

     

    Hope it helps!

    louisquinet Create a sort by column and sort whatever column you are using for the categories by that column. However, that may not work depending on how you have configured that visual so impossible to tell with the information provided. 

     

    Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?

    Hi louisquinet ,

     

    You just need to turn on this option to sort:

    It is located in the layout option in column(sort by value)

     

    Hope it helps!
