Sort text column

Is there a way to properly sort this column. I tried adding another column for sorting it by converting it to a whole number but it returns a circular dependency error. 

Thank you!

@Anonymous , Create new columns

Week 1 =[week]

Week sort = <Sort code>

 

Sort week 1 on week sort and use week 1 in visual

Hi  @Anonymous  ,

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. You can add a Value in front of the function of this week.

week = VALUE(WEEKDAY('Table'[date]))

2. Select the week column, and then click to select Sort ascending to sort
