Change order of columns in matrix

Hello everyone! 

 

I am using logos in a matrix as headers, and they are ordered in a very specific way (i guess alphabetically, by of each logo's URL). However, i need to change that order using bussiness rules, so it goes from the most important to the least important. Can i do it somehow? 

 

To explain better, this is what i need to do:

Hi @nikos_derv ,

 

Here I create a sample to have a test.

Now I want to sort the url column by sort of 4>2>3>1 instead of 1>2>3>4 as Power BI by default.

You can add a conditional column in Power Query Editor and then sort the [URL] column by this column.
