Sort my Data Column

Hallo, is there a way to sort the Data column you can always see on the right site when you work on your dashboards. 

It annoys me, that the new columns und measures i made are not sorted. Some are at the top some at the bottom and some just anywhere between. Is there a way to solve this?

Hi, they are always sorted alphabetically, but to keep all the measures together or logically  you can create  measure table.

Now pick a measure, 
and change the home table to your _Measures

Delete Column 1 and here you are, your measures will always stay on the top but within that table they will be sorted alphabetically, you can create several table like that for keeping core measures, timebased measures actuals and budgets.

You can also work with folders within that table to organize your measures
