Thanks for the replies. But what i actually mean is after filter, the columns are highlighted. Can i sort by the highlighted portion?

If you want to sort the only higlighted values, that would not be possible. Best way would be to edit the interaction between graphs and then slect Filter option instead of Highlight option. This way highlight will not work but you will get sorted values all time.

In Power BI Desktop, you can only sort data by column within same visual.

I don't know what do you mean "highlight fields", but you can always select a column for sorting and it will sort based on based values in this column.

Yes, it is a bit contrived, but those whole number values are not used/required to answer the homework questions at the end of the lab.
