Sort Text Data in Visual from Most to Least

I am developing a dashboard that will show the top skills our training program is each row is a specific employee with the skills. When I look at the table in Power Bi, it looks something like this:

When I show it as a bar chart, it shows something like this. I tried to sort the axis by the skills, but it will only sort is alphabetically.

I am looking to sort the axis based on the total sum of the skills. For example, AI for Bussiness should be #1 and so on.

Hi @tylerbostedt ,

You will find an option to sort the bar chart visual based on a aggregated field. Have you tried that ? Attaching a refrence image below. Here I have sorted count of products in descending order.

Thanks,
