Sorting in Treemap chart

Dear PBI community,

I would like to kindly ask for a help.

 

I have 2 treemap charts, each is representing the share of given category for this year and last year.

 

I would like to sort the categories, that each category will be next each other - that means that for example category in orange colour of 1 chart, will be next the orange colour category in the second chart. 

 

I wanted to sorted the categories alphabetically, but didn´t find how. Does anyone know?

Many thanks!

Dear @Pragati11,

 

Many thanks for your reply.

 

Do you know any alternatives? For example any extension from "next visuals"?

 

Thank you again and have a nice weekend,

HI @hnowotny17 ,

 

Is it possible for you to share your pbix file to try a workaround at my side?

Or if you can share some sample data?

If you share Pbix file make sure to remove any sensitive data. You can share a dropbox link or WeTransfer,

 

Best Regards,

HI @hnowotny17 ,

 

Unfortunately you can't sort the order on a Treemap visual by a categorical field.

It by default shows the category with maximum value as first section.
