Hello,
I have a report displaying a matrix containing several text fields in rows and several measures as values.
One of the columns contains a start week which looks like e.g. '202115' and is formatted as decimal number.
I would like to sort the start week. But it always shows up in the wrong order as shown below:
I checked all DAX code as shown below:
And also the sorting on column was set:
Anyone any idea what the issue could be?
Thanks,

@mphillenga , this is a sortable number. I doubt you need sort column. Can remove sort column for start week and try again

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. It did not solve my problem.
However I manage to find it. If I use a table instead of a matrix the sorting works fine.
