Locking Sort feature in Column of table or matrix Visual

Hi, 

 

I am visualizing some data in matrix and table visual. I don't want the viewer or my colleagues to be able to sort the column of table or matrix by clicking on Column header of matrix or table. Is there any way to disable this?

As you can see, Viewers can sort the Region column by clicking on the column header.

 

Thanks!

Regards,

Rabi

Hi @Rabi 
Power BI doesn’t have an option to disable the ordering. 

There are some tricks and workarounds like putting blank buttons/rectangles etc to solve it.
Please refer to the linked discussion  :

All the options we have, are there.
