Hi @momodj20 ,

 

We can create a calculated column to order it like following example,

 

Index = 
VAR p = [Power Level]
VAR n = [Name]
VAR a = [Age]
VAR t1 = 'Table3'
VAR t2 =
    FILTER ( 'Table3', 'Table3'[Power Level] = p )
VAR t3 =
    FILTER ( 'Table3', 'Table3'[Power Level] = p && 'Table3'[Age] = a )
RETURN
    RANKX (
        t1,
        RANKX ( t1, [Power Level],, ASC, SKIP ) * 100
            + RANKX ( t2, [Age],, ASC, SKIP ) * 10
            + RANKX ( t3, [Name],, ASC, SKIP ),
        ,
        DESC,
        SKIP
    )

This will sort by Power Level, then Age, and at last sort by name order.

Then if you want to see the order in Data view, just sort by index column.

If you want to see order in table visual, you can put the column into the table visual.
