Heya,

In case of a visual you can either use a different column to sort your data or create a small sort/order table --> add it to the visual--> use it for sorting.

However, as far as I know, this is not applicable in case of a matrix. I suggest you check out this short video - link

Hi,

I am not sure what you select in table view, but if you select table name, I think you cannot see Column tools ribon.

Please check the below screen shot, and please try select column name.

Hi @Mizzi1234 ,

 

How is the situation now? As @MNedix mentioned, you can create a sort table manually and create relationship between table. Here is a link about this method for your reference.Power BI Custom Sort Order In Bar Chart (devoworx.net)

 

 

Best regards,
