The Sort by column selection still works on some columns, but not on date columns in the latest version. I have run into the same issue as you did. By the way, sorting by date columns still seems to work properly, but you cannot select them anymore in this version.

Got my virtual machine reimaged yesterday and after reinstalling Power BI Desktop (latest version), everything is working normally again. Once I have the VM going 100%, I'll be doing the same to my laptop. [sigh]

 

Microsoft support was 0% help and to make matters worse, I got an "empathetic" email from them that was 100% written by AI when I told them I wasn't looking forward to imaging computers. Hours and hours of my time and they spent 15 seconds to get AI to write a response. 

Grump grump.
