Sorting Text in Matrix table visual
Hi New_be ,
If you want the latest date to be at the top, you should descend first, then add an index.
You can refer the following steps.
1. We need to create a unique Year&Month table. And sort the column.
2. Then create an index column.
3. Create an one-to-many relationship with Actual table.
4. At last, in the matrix table visual, put the Table[Year&Month] to Column and sort it by Index.
If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please provide a mockup sample based on fake data and describe the relations between tables?
It will be helpful if you can show us the exact expected result based on the tables.

BTW, pbix as attached.
New_be , if you want that on row or axis. You should be able to do it with three dots. with sort descending.
In case you need for matrix column.
Create a desc rank on you year month
Create new columns
Month Year Rank = RANKX(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Month Year],,DESC,Dense)
Month Year 1 = [Month Year]
Sort this new Month Year 1 on Month Year Rank and use that. As Power bi might not allow you to sort Month Year on Month Year Rank .
Great answer! thanks for your time. Really appreciate that!
