Hello,
I have a stacked bar chart grouped by a variable called "business impact" and would like to sort my legend by business impact from low to high rather than alphabetically. I've found solutions for custom sorting the legend that use the "sort by column" feature in the Modeling tab, but I do not see this feature in my current version of Power BI.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @Anonymous
You need to select the column that you want to sort.In the Fields pane, the Column tools tab becomes active.
Then you can see Sort by Column, then select the field you want to sort the other field by.
For more information , you can refer to :
Sort one column by another column in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
