Hi @powerbricco 

Please follow the below steps:
Sort the column used in Columns area (Date/Year) in descending order

• Go to the Fields pane.

• Locate your Date column (or the Year field you're using in the Columns well of the Matrix).

• If you're using a Year column derived from a date (e.g., Year = YEAR([Date])), make sure that field is used in the matrix.

• In the Matrix visual, click the dropdown arrow on the year header (top of the matrix columns).

• Choose "Sort descending".

@powerbricco 

here is a workaround, try to create a order column in PQ and sort the year column by the order column.
