Hello Community,
Kindly help in the below error while sorting a text column with a number column:
Thank you,
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Elieekh17
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.
Best Regards!
