Question on Custom Sort Order

‎11-03-2022 02:02 PM

Hello everyone! 

Quick question. Is there a way to create a measure or an additional field in a dataset that can give me the sort order of a particular milestone?

you could create an aadditional table and link it to your data, but what is it you are trying to sort and what does the data look like?
