How to sort column descending using column tool

Hi All,

 

I have one column in my model. From report view, if I click on column, from column tool ribbon I need to sort that column by another column, but it by default sort it by ascending. Is there way I can sort it by descending. ?

Hi @rob_vander 
Yes. You can pq sort your "Sort column " in descending order and add an index column which will be the "new sort column"
I recorded my screens, you can download the video file from This link

Creating index column is way to do it. I had to figure it out as I wanted it for Month year column.
