Y-Axis Parameter Sorting

[trevrobwhite2]

I'm using a parameter with a slicer to show/hide columns on a cluster column chart, this is working really well, however when the user removes a column and later adds it again it get appended to the end rather than having a sort order.

Quarters = {
    ("Q3 2023", NAMEOF('Results'[Q3 2023]), 0),
    ("Q4 2023", NAMEOF('Results'[Q4 2023]), 1),
    ("Q1 2024", NAMEOF('Results'[Q1 2024]), 2)
}

Of course if these were static fields I could just re-order them in the build visual tray but given that there is only my parameter in there now how can I utilise the sort order at the top level?

If I go to the sort Axis on the visual I get the following fields:

• X Axis
• Q3 2023
• Q1 2024
• Q2 2024

But I want to step a level up and sort those quarters.

For those looking to sort the Axis this video really helped by using the Tooltips and I'm sure there must be a way to do a simular thing with the Y axis, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfBrB6czByw

Hi @trevrobwhite2 ,

I'm not quite sure what that means, but maybe you can try using sort by column:

Hope it helps!
