Sort by the second column with the field

Hi, i'm stuck. I have this table :

It's a visual table containing some field from my unique table model. And measures which are TauxMarge, VarTM and VarTM_Note.

 

Code for the measure VarTM_Note : It return a rating acording to the value of the variation.

 

VarTM_Notenb = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    ABS([VarTM]) >= 0.1, 5,
    ABS([VarTM]) >= 0.05 && ABS([VarTM]) < 0.1 , 4,
    ABS([VarTM]) >= 0.03 && ABS([VarTM]) < 0.05 , 3,
    ABS([VarTM]) >= 0.01 && ABS([VarTM]) < 0.03, 2,
    1
 )

 

 

I need to sort this visual table by this measure somehow. But when i try to do it, it take the first column where VarTM_Note is (red). But i only want to sort it by second one (green), because the first one is useless and will be hidden due to the fact that it try to measure a variation and give it a rating on the first year of my data.

 

This is the source table that i use to create part of this visual table :

 

 

What would be the best way to go about it ?

      amitchandak it is a table of matrix, but may i ask you to show me how to sort on a measure total in this case ?

       

      I tried it this way :

      But Power BI doesn't seem to correctly calculate the result for neither of the measures VarTM and VarTM_Note. Probably because i use the PREVIOUSYEAR method i would assume.

      VarTM = 
var TMI = [TauxMarge]
var TMcalc = [TauxMarge] - CALCULATE([TauxMarge] , PREVIOUSYEAR('model'[Date]))
RETURN IF(TMI = TMcalc,0, TMcalc)

       

      I thought about an other measure that can calculate this result on itself but i can't think on how to properly do it.

        Hi.  gaalee89 

        From your screenshot, the row total value of VarTM_Notenb seems to be incorrect.

        You can try to add a new measure as below  and then sort by this field in matrix.

         

        VarTM_Notenb_2 = SUMX('Table',[VarTM_Notenb])

         

        If it doesn't work, please  share a sample file for further research.
