Helper IIIfilters
A slicer is used to create an interactive experience for a consumer of the report. A page level (or visual or report level) filter COULD be used for the same purpose, but is more intended to exclude the relevant data from the page/visual/report. If you want to have interactivity, use a slicer. When you publish to PowerBI.com, the end consumer may not have access to the page level filtering.
Microsoft EmployeeCan you provide a screen shot of what you are describing? Are you saying that when you add your field to the page level filter area and expand it to make a selection that the order is descending?
CathrynThank you for responding...yes
I don't know how to paste a screen shot in so I'll type how it looks. They are checkboxes :

You have to use the Snip tool (or equivalent) and save the image to your machine, then attach it to your post as a photo. Painful I know...

And please indicate what the data type is for the field in question.
