Sequential Sorting

[BC00]

Hello

When creating differnet types of graphs/charts, is there a way to choose how the items are sorted in their presentation?

For example, with a donut chart, I am trying to show the count of each "n" as a proportion of the overall count in that column. But it keeps sorting by ascending counts, IE. if the highest count is "h" at 47 then that comes first, when i'd like "a" to come first even if it isn't the highest count value.

@BC00 , Have tried changing the sort order using the three dots.

You can change some sorting behavior by clicking on the ellipsis at the upper right of the chart/visual.  If that isn't enough, you'll need to use the Sort By Column feature in Power BI.  Please see this article

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Great! Thanks, did not realize that was an option. Exactly what I was thinking.
