Sort table by date

Hi,

 

I am using Power Bi for my company, and have to create dashbord with several table sorted by date,

I got a date picker table and some other tables. And on these tables I would like to sort all my datas by date (ascending). For that I added a column date and sort the table by this column. But the problem is that I have ta add the date on all my tables, and it's not really usefull and would like to delete this column (but if I do that my table are not sort by date anymore). 

 

So my question is : Is-it possible to sort my table day the ascending date, even if I don't add this column in my tables ? 

 

Thanks for your help,

Valentin

So to help people who got the same problem, the best way to resolve it at the moment is to place the column on the right of the board, go to the focus mode and hide it on the left

On this way my table's tab looks like that :

So Date is hiden, (you just see a small part of the tab)

 

It's not perfect, but I don't have any idea to do better...

So, in theory you might be able to pull it off by setting the "Sort By Column" for one of your other columns to your Date field. Sort By is in the Modeling section of the ribbon.
