I created a custom table and then using Merge Queries got the desired result.

 

Thanks for the update though.

 

Regards

You cannot add calculated column for sorting using the same column that we need to sort. You would need to add the sorting column in the backend (datasource or power query) or can create calculated column not using the particular column (here, MARKET_SEGMENT).
