Hi @olsen9 ,
I think [RowNum] should be a measure based on your calculation logic. As far as I know, Power BI doesn't support us to add a measure to sort the columns.
For reference:
Sort one column by another column in Power BI
Here I suggest you to create a Custom column in Power Query Editor and then use this function. If you sort a column by a calculated column which is calculated based on that column, Power BI will return a circule error.
