Table visualization ordering

I have a table visualization with data from different sematic models. The data is all about parent and child items and I want it to be ordered in a hierarchy as shown in the screen shot. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @NareshSunder,

Thank you  for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

To fix your issue you will need to create a custom column that follows your item hierarchy. Once you sort the table using that column, it will show in the correct structure.

Path = 
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    'ItemHierarchy'[Item] = "A", "1",
    'ItemHierarchy'[Item] = "A1", "1.1",
    'ItemHierarchy'[Item] = "A11", "1.1.1",
    'ItemHierarchy'[Item] = "A12", "1.1.2",
    'ItemHierarchy'[Item] = "A111", "1.1.1.1",
    'ItemHierarchy'[Item] = "A112", "1.1.1.2",
    'ItemHierarchy'[Item] = "A121", "1.1.2.1",
    'ItemHierarchy'[Item] = "A122", "1.1.2.2",
    'ItemHierarchy'[Item] = "A113", "1.1.1.1.1",
    "9"  // fallback/default
)

I tested it with my sample data, and it worked fine. Please find the attached screenshot and pbix for your reference.
