I was suggesting an alternative way to include the columns as per the original poster's needs seeing as changing the column name wasn't working.

I'm getting the same behaviour: it won't let me rename the columns. 
I can create a new column once loaded for Category as follows:

 

Can't you use the SWITCH function and reference the Parameter[Order] field to assign the values? Or use a different DAX expression to return the values?

After all you are assigning them manually with the table constructor { }

Yes, this could be a workaround in my case. 
However, it seems to be a bug of the new version of Power BI. I tried to download a previous one (September's version) and it worked. 

Thanks again for your help! 🙂
