    I found that I can sort it in the report after I submitted to the web.  just go to that visualization at right corner and select sort by weeknumber then done.  it's not working in desktop. 

     

    thank you everyone.

        ericbi,

        Please follow the steps below.

        1. Create a conditional column in Query Editor of Power BI Desktop.


        2. In report view of Power BI Desktop, click the Week column in your tables, then choose "Sort by column" to sort the Week column by the Custom column(conditional column).


        Regards,
