Date Filter won't sort in DESC Order

I have a date filter on my report and I want it to sort the dates in DESC order so the user doesn't have to scroll down to the bottom to get the current month/date.   In the data tab I have verified that my field is a DATE datatype and it is sorting in DESC order in the data tab only.  How can I get the filter to sort correctly in DESC order?

@clayne , Try think, But then Date will by default sort desc,

Both new column in your table

Date 1 = Date

Rank = rankx(all(Table),[Date],,desc,dense)

 

Now sort Date1 on Rank. If you try to sort Date it will give dependency error, hence the new column

Use Date1 column
