Rank in Direct Query to sort

Hello all, 
I am in direct query mode and i am trying to achieve a horizontal bar chart with highest rated user in the module like below. I am able to this in Tableau and I am not able to create a rank calculation in Power BI. Kinldy modify the below dax to achieve like the ss below.

 

Manager Rating is a calculated measure 

Manager Rating =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'USER_RATING_VIEW'[MANAGER_RATINGS_FINAL] ),
    ALLEXCEPT (
        'USER_RATING_VIEW',
        'USER_RATING_VIEW'[USER_DN],
        'USER_RATING_VIEW'[Module],
        'USER_RATING_VIEW'[QUESTION],
        'USER_RATING_VIEW'[MANAGER_RATINGS_FINAL],
        'USER_RATING_VIEW'[JOB_ROLE_BAND]
    )
)

Hi @harshagraj ,

 

As far as I know, Power BI doesn't support us to sort values in same legend with different groups at the same time.

Here I have a workaround. You need to add [USER_DN] in Y-axis as level2 and add Rank measure into Tooltip.

Measure:

Rank_Module = 
MAX(USER_RATING_VIEW[Module])
&""&
RANKX(
    CALCULATETABLE(
        VALUES(USER_RATING_VIEW[USER_DN]),
        ALLSELECTED(USER_RATING_VIEW[USER_DN])),
CALCULATE([Manager Rating]))
 

Sort axis by [Rank_Module] measure. Result is as below.
