Is there a way to manually order the items of a query or table in the Fields section of Power BI desktop? It always organizes everything in alphabetical order. I'd like all my dimension fields at the top and my numerical fields at the bottom and all my measures below that. I'm trying to avoid having to put an a, b, c or 1,2,3 in front of all my field names in order to do this.
Currently shown.
| day_of_business - dimension |
| franchisee - dimension |
| net_sales, |
| net_transactions |
| revenue_center - dimension |
| sales per transaction - calculated measure |
| store_id - dimension |
Ideally would like to look like this...
| store_id - dimension |
| franchisee - dimension |
| day_of_business - dimension |
| revenue_center - dimension |
| net_transactions |
| net_sales, |
| sales per transaction - calculated measure |
Hi @Humpjs,
Consider inserting a sort order field (which serves as an anchor) in the order which you'd like.
Then for that field, go to Modeling>Sort by Column and choosing your sort order field.
