    Hi,  Anonymous 

    The value of 2019 is part of the value in the original field. You can only sort the column as a whole.
    As a workaround, please consider creating separate measures for the 2017, 2018, and 2019 , and apply these three measures to the value of the matrix.

     

    2019 value = CALCULATE(YourMeasure,FILTER(Table,Table[Year]=2019))

    2018 value = CALCULATE(YourMeasure,FILTER(Table,Table[Year]=2018))
    2017 value = CALCULATE(YourMeasure,FILTER(Table,Table[Year]=2017))

     

    ...

Anonymous , Create column in date table

 

Year 1= [Year]

Year sort =  rankx('Date', [Year],,desc,dense)

 

Mark Year sort as sort column of year 1 and use  year 1 in visual
