Custom sorting x axis

Hello

 

I have already set up a separate index table for custom sorting but it's not working.  I suspect it's being overridden by the automatic sorting in PowerBI.  How can I fix this?

 

The correct order should be "Digital -> Web -> eProc -> PM" as per my index table, but it's only allowing me to sort alphabetically (e.g. for ascending, "Digital -> eProc -> PM -> Web").

 

 

 

 

 

  • Hi,

     

    Not sure if you've tried this but try clicking on the field you're wanting to sort in the data pane, then on the column tools ribbon select sort by column, then select your ordering field.

  • This doesn't work if you calculate the index. "A circular dependency was detected..."
