Order Matrix ascending

Can anybody help me? I currently have in this matrix the date from 03/24/2021 to 04/01/2021 but I would like to put it in ascending order.

Hi @Anonymous 

It works fine for me in a matrix.  If the dates are dates then it should auomatically sort them correctly.

Have you got the matrix sorted in Ascending or Descending order?  Click on the ellipsis ... to check

Can you please supply your data and/or PBIX file if this doesn't fix it.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

There's no such feature currently. You may achieve the goal by DAX function. Please check the following topic.

Thanks for your response @PhilipTreacy 
I uploaded my database that I am using. Link Wetransfer 

I replied the way you did and it seems that you are increasingly ordering by values.

If I change the same spreadsheet with different values ​​it looks like this

In my real case I have this database Link Wetransfer 
and replicating for that same method was as follows.
