Hi @Chennakesava458 ,

Base on my research, there is no option to set the row columns in reverse order. There is an workaround can be achieve the similar requirement. You can find the details in the attachment.

1. Create a sort order table

RowName SortOrder
employee1 1
employee2 2
Manager1 3
employee2 4
employee4 5
Manager2 6
Client1 7

2. Create a measure as below 

Measure = var _gl=SELECTEDVALUE('Sort Order'[RowName])
RETURN  CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sales]),'Table'[GL-4]=_gl||'Table'[GL-3]=_gl||'Table'[GL-2]=_gl)

Hi @Chennakesava458 ,

You can refer the following blog to sort the column by custom:

Sort a Column with a Custom Order in Power BI - RADACAD

1. Create a customized sort order dimension table

Quarter Year Order
Q2 2024 1
Q1 2024 2
Q4 2023 3
Q3 2023 4
... ...

2. Combining the Sort Order Table with 'Dimension' table

3. Sort by column

If the above one can't help you figure out, please provide some raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following link to share the required info:

How to provide sample data in the Power BI Forum

 

And it is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
