Hi @kdixon5490,

It seems like you are work with a third party custom visual. I'd like to suggest you contact the visual author(@jppp ) at the below blog to know more about the visual usage:

@kdixon5490 ,

One use of this Values field in Hierarchical Slicer is to Sort slicer list of values based on some ID or any numeric column. Similar to "Sort By Column" stuff. 

For example, If I would like to add list of Employee name in that Slicer but dont want to sort this as per Employee name instead of I would like to sort it by Employee ID so I can add this Employee ID in that values field. 

 

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!

Please take a quick glance at newly created dashboards : Restaurant Management Dashboard , HR Analytics Report , Hotel Management Report, Sales Analysis Report , Fortune 500 Companies Analysis , Revenue Tracking Dashboard
