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.
