New Button Slicer Sort Order

Hello, I was just wondering if there was a way have it order row-wise instead of column-wise for the new button slicer. 

The natural order for my values below is D1, D2, D3, D4, D6, D7, D8, DM. I was hoping it would go from left to right not top to bottom.

I don't want to change it so it messes with the natural sort order for other visuals and such though.

Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.

Hi, in the button slicer settings, there is an option Overflow direction. I think your is set up as Horizontal. Please change it to Vertical and it should resolve your issue.
