Hi all,
The standard Treemap visual sorts the items from largest to smallest Value and it cannot be custom-sorted by default. Imagine we want to present the info in a specific order, other than the default. Is there any workaround for this (with the standard visual or another one)?
Many thanks
You can't but you can filter by top/bottom N on the visual filter and select the value/measure you want to.
Hi @AlB ,
It is sorted by default. The rectangles in treemap are arranged in size from top left (largest) to bottom right (smallest). I didn't find any workaround for it. I also suggest you create an idea for it in https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas to improve the power bi.
Best Regards,

If there isn't an existing visual, you might be able to do it with Charticulator (at least easy to try).
Regards,
Pat
