Is there a way to order the options in a dropdown filter?

By default, the options in a dropdown filter are arranged A-Z alphabetically.

 

What if I wanted to say, reverse that order?  Or even do a custom order?   Are either currently possible?

 

Thanks,

For reverse sort, you should be able to select the "..." (More options) on your filter visual and see a sort option

 

If you want a custom sort, then you need to create a sort key associated with each value, then go to the Data view, select your table, then select Cust # .  Then in the Modeling tab, select Sort by Column and select the sort key

 

Hope this helps,
