Sort by Column Desc in Power BI

Hello,    I have this matrix table which the columns are dynamic months.     As you can see, the data is in blank because it starts sorting by "asc" order, how can i change that to "desc"?...

jvbs , there is Sort By in the bottom of that menu. Do you have there the Month column? If not, you can add a Month column in the tooltip section of the Matrix table, so after that it should be present under Sort By.

      Hennadii it didnt work 😞

       

      Let me try to explain ya in other way:

       

      The video you’ve sent show how to sort the rows of a simple table object by using a hidden field.

      What i’m trying to do is sort a column from a matrix visual object by using the column “Year-month (YYYY-MM)”

       

      Some pics to illustrate my issue:

        Hi jvbs ,

        Please look at this article. Hope it will help you.

        The key point there is to use Sort By Column feature by some additional column which can be called Order.
