Hi,
I want to have a specific order in a filter without creating some custom columns/referential tables. I'm connected to the dataset, hence I can't create such columns, otherwise I'd do so.
Is there a way to do it? I tried experimenting with virtual tables and switch, but it didn't work in a filter context, only for normal tables.
Thanks a lot!

@tslowik131 , No as of now you need to have a sort column to change the other other than asc or desc.
If you are not in direct query to live you should be able to create a sort column

Thanks a lot for the confirmation.
I'm connected live to the dataset and all the options for creation of columns are diasabled, so unfortunetly it doesn't work.
