Sorting clustered column

I have a clustered column chart showing sales by account where the legend is date showing 2016 and 2017.  Does anyone know if its possible to sort the chart by 2017 sales only.  My only option is to sort by sales which I am guessing is the sum of 2016 and 2017 sales.

Hi @CJANE,

 

It seems you put the Account as X-axis and Year as legend. Assume Year only have 2016 and 2017 two values, then you can sort values for 2017 only. Otherwise, if Year have three values 2016, 2017 and 2018, then it's not supported. Please see attached .pbix file.
