Hi everyone I feel like this is such an easy fix, but I am dumbfounded. I have an X-axis like below and I am unable to get it to sort by, Less Than 15 Days Past Due, 15-90 Days Past Due, and then 90 Days+ Past Due. I created a measure to signify that Less Than 15 Days Past Due is 1, 15-90 Days Past Due is 2, and then 90 Days+ Past Due is 3 and tried sorting by that, but it had to be included and messed up the visual.
If anyone has a solution that would be great!
Also, if someone knows or can link a source to the order in which Power BI sorts naming conventions that would be super helpful for the future. Such as, Letters, numbers, then symbols. Something along the sorts.

How to get your questions answered quickly -- How to provide sample data
You need to replace the measure that you did with a calculated column that does the same thing, and that column needs to be on the same table as the one that has your categories in. You can then set your categories column to be sorted by the new sort order column.
