Hi @Anonymous 

After testing, you don't need to sort it by the number, when you create the field paramater, the text number will order by the Parameter Order automatcially, so you don't need to order it, you can refer to my sample. 

I create the following paramater.

Then put it to the slicer, it will keep the paramater order.

Hi @Anonymous ,

1.If you  create the number column by the text column, it may cause some problem,can you provide the error picture that you have faced or the code that hide the private meassage.

2.Please check that if you have some error in power query, it may also affect it.

 

Best Regards!
