Sorting Rows in Matrix

Hi all,

 

How can I change the order of the 'Subset' column in the below matrix?

 

It is a text column and has sorted alphabetically by default.

 

Is it possible to change the order to one I specify? I would like to change them around

Hi @HenryJS ,

 

Not sure how you want to sort, but you can add a new column and use sort by column. For more details, please refer to https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-sort-row-headers-in-a-manual-sort-in-matrix/m-p/9460...

Hi @HenryJS ,

 

You can give a ranking to your Subset column like:

Val1 --> 1

Val2 --> 2 .....

 

Then move this rank column to the matrix tootltip, then sort the matrix in ascending order using this tootltip column under 3 dots.

 

Thanks,
