Sort column Headers in a Matrix
Is there a way to sort the columns in a matrix visual?
In below screenshot I want column order to be Won, Pipeline, Lost and not the other way round. I can create 3 measures and place them in that order but that would cause drillthrough functionality to not work as the column is no longer a dimension.
if you are using SSAS Cube then it is better because it just need to be done once at SSAS Model and that will flow to powerbi.

- I would create an additional column that serves as a sort column for the column values and define a „Sort by“ in the data model.

I'm aware of this but really painful to introduce a sort by for every single thing that needs to be sorted, especially given I'm using a SSAS cude as the source. Wish there was an easier ad-hoc way to do sorting at the report level without involving the data model.

it will be in the order how you dropped those on the value in matrix, not sure if I fully understood your question.
