Need matrix column sorted descending order

Hello, 

I'm trying to create the following pivot table in Power BI. I need help on how to sort the date table. The year and month column  need to be in descending order( December 2022, November 2022, October 2022, etc).  Please see pivot chart image below:  

 

  • nrc0610 , for that you have create a column with desc sort

     

    Month year 1 = [Month Year]

     

    Month Year Sort = rankx(Date, [Month Year],,desc,dense)

     

    Then mark Month Year Sort  as sort column for Month Year 1 and use that in visual
