Disable sorting function& bring textbox forward

Hi, 

        I create a table, and want to keep column in fixed order.  In oder to avoid end users to touch sort function, I used text box to cover column header. But text box keeps to hide back to table. I saw some solutions regardng same issue(send to front under recorder or bring forward), but I can't find "recorder" or " bring forward" in my power BI desktop.

      How can I bring textbox to front? Thanks!

hi,

          I found bring to forward under format. I used textbox to cover the header and set textbox at front, but when I clik the the header, textboxt hidding back to table again. Still able to sort!!! I want to use textbox disable sort from header, what I did wrong??? 

@Anonymous ,

 

I can't reproduce your issue. When you select "Bring Forward" of text visual. The text visual will always cover the column header in table visual. You don't need to set the textbox to front.
