    Have you tried sorting by the sum measure in descending order?

    I would go for:

    Ref =
     [Sum of Total Gross Incurred]  * 1000000000000 + COUNT(LossRunToExcel[Reporting Location City])

    I got the first example to work in main file. Thank you for all the help.  I will need more time this weekend to try the more creative and visual 2nd option.

    Yes, it's definitely an issue in the service. You need to sort by the city field to get the axis to respect the structure:

    It actually emulates the problem we used to have in Desktop when you turned off concatenate fields: for the setting to take effect, you needed to sort the axis by the fields:

    It might be worth reporting the issue on the issues forum:

Here is what Chart look like when published?  

 

Not sure why it looks good before publihing and not after?   Why is it doing that?

How would we remove the City Name from the Axis and still keep sorting  by City and Cause Grouping for it to publish right?

    If you remove the city field, the measures loose the field context, so the visual will display aggredate values for case grouping

    Paul, how would you tweak the following you provided to make page where Sum is used first and Count is as Tie breaker.  I tried to replace Count with Sum for all and got close.  

     

    Ref =
    VAR _MX =
        MAXX (
            ALL ( InjuryCause[Cause Grouping] ),
            CALCULATE ( SUM ( LossRunToExcel[Total Gross Incurred] ) )
        )
    VAR _LNGTh =
        LEN ( FORMAT ( INT ( _MX ), "Text" ) ) + 1
    RETURN
        COUNT ( LossRunToExcel[Total Gross Incurred] ) * POWER ( 20, _LNGTh )
            + SUM ( LossRunToExcel[Total Gross Incurred] )

     

     

    Sort measure Count Location Cause =
    VAR _FreqByCity = CALCULATE([Count of Total Gross Incurred], FILTER(ALL(InjuryCause[Cause Grouping]), [Top 5 by frequency and Incurred]<6))
    VAR _LN = LEN(FORMAT(CALCULATE([Count of Total Gross Incurred], ALL('LossRunToExcel'[Reporting Location City])), "text"))
    VAR _Pre = _FreqByCity *POWER(10, _LN*2)
    VAR _Inc = CALCULATE(RANKX(ALLSELECTED(LossRunToExcel[Reporting Location City]), [Sum of Total Gross Incurred],,ASC,Dense), ALLSELECTED(InjuryCause[Cause Grouping]))
    VAR _Mid = _Inc * POWER(10, _LN)
    RETURN
    IF(ISBLANK([Count of Total Gross Incurred]), BLANK(), _Pre + _Mid + RANKX(ALLSELECTED(InjuryCause[Cause Grouping]),[Ref],,ASC,Skip))
     
    Top 5 by frequency and Incurred =
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( [Sum of Total Gross Incurred] ),
        BLANK (),
        RANKX ( ALL ( InjuryCause[Cause Grouping] ), [Ref],, DESC, SKIP )

    I believe I got it work.  I had to recheck all.
