Sort tiles in filter pane not possible

[Pikachu-Power]

Hi all,

in Power BI Desktop (Version: 2.118.828.0 64-bit June 2023) it is not possible to sort the tiles in the filter pane.

Seems like a new bug.

Best regards

Hello @anosul 

Thanks for the informations. To avoid extra affort i would wait for the update. But maybe it will help others. Good that it is accepted now.

My recommendation for how to deal with this issue:

1. Wait for the July update - looks like the issue should be fixed there;
2. Downgrade to the May version;
3. Add a prefix to the name of the filter(like [1 filter name], [2 filter name]) and sort alphabetically - not elegant but simple;
4. Use my workaround:
   - step 1: select your visual and open the filter pane;
   - step 2: rename your filter item(add number prefix) and sort alphabetically;
   - step 3: try changing sorting by drag and drop - you don't get any result, but only change sorting to custom;
   - step 4: rename your filter item back and save your result;

According to @v-yanjiang-msft response:
The fix is checked in and will be in the SU07 release.

The issue with the custom sort functionality in the filters pane has been reproduced at least since the June 2023 update from version 2.118.621.0.

An update to latest 2.118.828.0 doesn't fix it.

I found a few related topics:

1. Custom sort functionality in the Filters pane - https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Custom-sort-functionality-in-the-Filters-pane/m-p/...
2. Reorder fields in filter pane is broken - https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Issues/Reorder-fields-in-filter-pane-is-broken/idi-p/32918...

But overall, as I understand, a few members reported it internally, and we all look forward to updates.

Hi @Ritaf1983

Sorry with sort i mean sort individually and not alphabetical:

Before this was always possible and makes sense to bring it in a logical sequence for the enduser.

I don't remember how it was (from 2017 working with the tool).
If it is something that critical just give indexes to the names for sorting:

if you suspect that it is a kind of bug, try to report it as an issue here:https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Issues/ct-p/PBI_Comm_Issues
