Matrix columns with dates not showing in order

I have a matrix with Dates (dd/mm) as columns (the format is Text cause I didn't find any date format in powerbi that could correspond to what I needed). 

 

I want the dates to be ordered but without the need to add an extra row above it with the month it's in. The correct order below would be (27/02, 28/02, 01/03, 02/03...)

Any idea how I can achieve this and just showing the days (dd/mm)?

@Anonymous , You can create a column and mark that sort column

 

Month day sort =  format([Date], "mmdd")

 

you now only need the year column if data is across the year
