Hi,

 

you'll need to create a new table with the sorting order for you columns and then use sort by in the column tools to adjust it to that order. I wrote a blog which includes how to do this, check out: https://github.com/DOLEARY85/Power-BI-Replicate-Excel-Table

I don't see a column tools menu item in Power BI desktop

 

You have to select the column you want sorted first in data pane on the right side of the screen for it to appear.
