Sorting in Sankey Visual

[jrgarcia2]

In Sankey, wondering how to sort so that labels show up in defined sequence. I did the sort by column but still does not sort properly. In the visual I am trying to get the right hand coums values to read from top to bottom, "None, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced".  Thanks

You can simply drag and drop the bars in the desired sorting order.

Thereby, to achieve your requirement, you can define a weight value for your sequence. Something like:

For more detailed features about this custom visual, I would suggest you to contact Custom Visual support team (

Xi Jin,

I do have a sorting field but that does not work, perhaps that is due to my model have more than just one category (A in your example). I can get it to sort correctly when using all responses, but once I filter on "Novice" or "Intermediate", etc. the sorting becomes out of order.

Hi @jrgarcia2,

Could you please share us your pbix file with OneDrive or something else if possible? So that I can do some corresponding tests rather than just guessing.

Also, I would still suggest you to contact custom visual team. Since this is a custom visual which may exists limitations we don't know. 

Thanks,
Xi Jin.
