Sort clustered bar chart

Hi all, 

I would like to sort this bar chart by the count of Involved in Investigation = True but can't seem to achieve it via the sort by axis. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Anonymous ,

    _AAndrade , This method can only sort the contents of the axis, not the contents of the Legend.

    If you must sort Involved in Investigation = True, you can try this approach.
    Here is my sample dataset:

    I use there DAXs to create measures:

     

    True = SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Involved in Investigation]="True"), 'Table'[Value])
    False = SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Involved in Investigation]="False"), 'Table'[Value])

     

    Then put these measures into the bar chart:

    Then you can change the sorting rules:

    This is just an example, you will need to change the DAX you use for your specific situation.
