Order of columns in well - changed default alphabetical sort

Hi,

 

Have folloiwng in desktop and it sorts the columns alphabetaicaaly by default in power bi desktop.

 

Ideally would just move them up such taht Sunday appears first then Monday....Saturadya etc.

 

How is this best achieved in power bi - didn't want to have  to say 0- Sunday, 1- Monday etc.

 

Thanks

Hi @po 

 

I'm afraid this is not possible in Power BI currently. Adding a weekday number at the start like 0- Sunday, 1- Monday etc is still the easiest and effective way.

@po , Give some space before. But does the column order matter ?

 

You can change the order of column in the power query, but that does not change it here
