hi @Anonymous 

If the column is Text column, when you pull the column in your visual, click on the "..." on the top right corner. And then select the order in which you want to sort.

Hi @Anonymous 

If you want to sort the column ascendingly by the interger part before "D", you need to add a column for sorting. In Power Query Editor, extract the interger part into a new column: under Add Column, select Extract > Text Before Delimiter and enter D in Delimiter textbox. And change the data type to Whole number. 

After applying changes into Power BI Desktop, sort the original column by the new column. At last, select Sort ascending on the visual.

I don't add the new column with DAX because it will bring a circular dependency error when sorting the column by the new column. Hope this helps.

@Anonymous , In every visual you have the option under three dots to sort on column and order ,
