How can I avoid automatically sorting in Power Bi Desktop?

 I am new to Power BI and I am working on Finance Data.

I have some particular rows and Columns which I dont want to sort alphabetically.

I want the same order I have in my Excel file.

Would it be possible if we avoid sorting in Power BI.

Awaiting response and suggestions.

Sounds like the sort of thing that adding an index column and telling Power BI to sort by that as needed would at least partially solve

Thank You, It worked for me.

 

But I would like to hide the index column in a report.

Is there any possible way?

 

Thank Again.
