Hi @Bruce101995 ,

 

At the moment, Power BI’s Button Slicer Grid doesn’t support changing the fill direction from across-then-down to down-then-across. It always fills row-wise by default.

That said, here’s a workaround that gives you more control over the order:

  1. Create a custom sort column in your data model that reflects the order you want the buttons to appear in (top to bottom, then left to right).
SortOrder = 
SWITCH(
    [YourField],
    "Option A", 1,
    "Option B", 2,
    "Option C", 3,
    ...
)
  1. Sort your slicer field by this SortOrder column.

  2. Then adjust the grid layout (e.g. 2 columns, 5 rows) to match the visual structure you want. It won’t change the fill direction, but it will control the order in which items appear.

Hopefully Microsoft adds a native toggle for this in the future, but for now this method works well.
