    Hey Anonymous 

     

    Just create an additional calculated column that contains an integer value like so

    yearweekno = year('<tablename>'[date]) * 100 + weeknum('<tablename>'[date])

    Then you can use this column to sort your column that contains these values

    week 51 (2019)    week 52 (2019)    week 1(2020)   week 2 (2020)

    This explains the feature "Sort by column": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-sort-by-column#sort-using-the-sort-by-column-button

    The same article also explains how the sort order can be adjusted in visuals.

     

    Hopefully this provides what you are looking for.

     

    Regards,

    Tom
