Sort by Column Desc in Power BI

[jvbs]

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"?

Hi @jvbs ,

Try to click on ... (three dots) in the top right - there should be a menu where you can choose an order.

Thanks for your response, @Hennadii , but in this case, it will order by the total column, instead of ordering desc by month column...

I want to see like this: 2020-06, 2020-05, 2020-04, etc...

@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  could you send me a print of those steps? I cant find it here 😖

@jvbs , sorry for confusion, there is no Tooltip in the matrix (((
Try to use workaround mentioned here (after 2:44) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bp_e-ik7aA

@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.
