Sort by / Sort Oder (New) Card Visual

Hello Fabric Community ! 

I have encountered an issue using the (new) Card visual.

Namely, the complete absence of the ‘sort by’ option is causing me problems in terms of how to arrange my visual display.

The option can appear when using different "Category" in the visual, but it will not allow to sort by a measure present in "Value".

I tried to switch a to table or a multi-row card (where it is possible) then apply the sort by the measure and switching back to the (new) card visual but it didn't work. The option of sorting the category directly in the semantic model is not an option as the value are aggregated and when a sort order is applied on the column of the used category, dupplicates appear in the visual. And the option of sorting the column directly still would have been a workaround from a very simple task.

Let's take an example:

I have a category, say Country then several measure in value (profit, sale, margin, etc.) : the only option is to sort ascending or descending based on the country name and it is impossible to sort by profit for exemple with the new card visual, unlike the old multi-row card.

I tried to look on the internet but nothing found.

Has anyone encountered the same issue and know a solution please ?

 

Thanks in advance !

 

New Card Visual : No option

Old multi-row card : Option is there
