Drilldown/sorting

Hi, I have a table wich consist of a hierarki with 3 different levels. Power bi sees to sort out the amounts for level 1 and 3 but not level 2. When I expand/drill down from level 1 the same amount appears on level 2. But when I expand/drilldown from level 2 to 3, sorting is correct. Any hints or tips?

Hi @TrondEskild 

Generally, you need to have in your data table sort columns for every level of your hierarchy and modify its sort order.

For example, in my generated table I have category level and measure level so they have to be sorted like in the attached pictures :
