    Hello sabeensp ,

     

    you can setup sort order as below 

     

    1. Create 2 new calculated columns in addition to currentvalue column.

     

    NumCheck = 
    VAR a = value(if(ISERROR(VALUE('Table'[CurrentValue])),"9999",'Table'[CurrentValue]))
    RETURN a
     
    currentvaluecopy = 'Table'[CurrentValue]
     
    2. Now select column currentvaluecopy from Data tab and use "Sort By Column" --> NumCheck
     
    3. Create Slicer using column currentvaluecopy.
     
    Please note, I tried creating sort by column on CurrentValue column but then sort by column is not working, so just duplicated column to use into Slicer.
     
    Please mark solution as Accepted if it helps.
