    mvi ,

    So apply my second approach, which is setting Sorting column to white color. Go to Field Formatting property of that table visual and select Sorting Column name from drop down then Set Font Color to White and also click on Apply to header. (see the attached screen shot)

    Thi is not a good solution - if the grid is alternate as in this case, you can see it on the gray rows.  Any other options?  I know you can "hide" in SSRS.  No option in PBI?

      The Sort by column option in Column tools should work if you create a conditional column with an index.
