Matrix Visual: Column Sorting

‎09-18-2021 12:18 PM

Hi, I am doing an aged receivables report from Xero data and my column headers appear as below.

However, a more logical order would be to have "Current" appear first, I am however unable to do this. Any clue on how I can go about getting it done?

Those are sorting alphabetically.  You can add a Sort By column to change it.

Sort one column by another column in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
