Hi @Anonymous 

There are two ways to achieve your objectives.  

• 1st way is to make your decimal texts to 2 decimal instead of 1 for single digit decimal numbers. For example .1 - .9 becomes .01 - .09, as shown below.  

• 2nd way is to add an index column using Power Query and sort column according to the index column. 

Select Add Column > Index Column.

I attach the pbix file below:

Index column.pbix

you need to extract the numbers in a separate column in power query and then sort your column by it
