Hi @mrrobottelg - In your date table, create one calculated column with Day Number as below and sort it on the top of column Week day with Day number.

 

calculated column as below:

 

DayNumber = WEEKDAY([Date], 2)
 
 
Once created new column sort the Name of the day (Week day in your case) with sort by column Day Number as below image:

Hi,

In the Calendar table, create a calculated column formula to extract the Day of week

DoW = format(calendar[date],"dddd")

In MS Excel, create a 2 column by 7 row table with day names in column 1 and order of those day names in column 2.  Name this table as doworder.

Day name Day order
Monday 1
Tuesday 2
Wednesday 3
Thursday 4
Friday 5
Saturday 6
Sunday 7

 

In the Calendar Table, write this calculated column formula to brin over the Order column from another table

Dow order = related(doworder[order])

Click on any cell in the Dow column of the Calendar table and under Sort by column, select Dow order.  to your visual, drag Dow from the Calendar Table.
