Hi @danielsouza,

 

 

For the following steps, I am assuming that row order from your source file is the same as on  your screenshot  and the values in DESCRIÇÃO are unique - no duplicates. 

  • In the query editor, duplicate your original query. Right click on the query name from the query pane (left side) and then click Duplicate.
  • Select DESCRIÇÃO column, right click and then Remove Other Columns.
  • Filter the remaining column. Select Remove Empty. 
  • From Add Column tab, click Index Column. It doesn't matter whether your index starts from 0 or 1. 
  • Load the duplicate table to your model.
  • In the relationship view, drag DESCRIÇÃO  from the duplicate to the DESCRIÇÃO in the original table.
  • Once a relationship between the two is established, create a calculated colum in the original table. You can name it DESCRIÇÃO  sort order or anyway you want. The formula would be RELATED('Name of Duplicate Table'[Index]).  This calculated column will be used to custom sort DESCRIÇÃO.
  • Select the original DESCRIÇÃO column. From the Modeling tab in Power BI designer, click Sort by Column and select the calculated column in the prevoius step.
  • Put DESCRIÇÃO  in a table or matrix to check whether the custom sort order works.
