Cumulative sum on a ranked table

I'm trying to extract the top % of products by sales for each customer. the script below returns the cumulative percentage but not in order. What I want is to sort them from high to low and then run the code below.

 
CumulativePercentage =
VAR _TotalSales =
    CALCULATE(
        [Sales_kgs],
        ALL('Product Lookup')
    )
VAR _CumSales =
        CALCULATE(
            SUM(Inventory[monthly_wholesale_kg]),
            FILTER(
                ALLSELECTED(Inventory),
                Inventory[product_sku] <= MAX(Inventory[product_sku])
            )
)

RETURN
    _CumSales / _TotalSales

measures : 
ranking measure : 

rnk = 
RANKX(
    ALLSELECTED(tbl1[Product]),CALCULATE(sum(tbl1[monthly sales])),,DESC)

    

 

 

measure cumul : 

cumulative sum = 
var current_ranking  = [rnk]


var s = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(tbl1[monthly sales]),
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED(tbl1[Product]),
        [rnk] <=current_ranking
    )

)

return s

 

 

 

cumult%

cumult % = 
[cumulative sum] 
/ 
CALCULATE(SUM(tbl1[monthly sales]), ALLSELECTED(tbl1[Product])
)

I cant share teh data model. the data is sensitive. But this is more or less what i have. I want to calculate the running total for all product for each customer sorted from high to low

This is a list of all the product for a certain customer. The sales column is already sorted from high to low. I want the cumlutavie% column to be the running sum of Sale%. right not it is calculating the running sum but in a different order. In the end I want to be able to filter products by the top % (i.e. top50% or top 80%)
