keepin sorting order

hi,

 

i have few top-n tables which do not seem to be sorting according to the sort order i set earlier. it's abit frustrating to be re-sorting so many tables frequently when all was in order earlier..

 

kindly advise on how to ensure that doesn't happen i.e. keeping sorting order unchanged unless requested. 

 

tks & krgds, -nik

If you click on a header for a table, it will sort by that. You have to be careful when you are doing things like adjusting the width of a column you don't click on the column, as it will immediately sort by that column. It is a bit tedious but you get used to it.

@Anonymous , Desktop is a kind of development env. So any changes you do and save, that will remain. You have reset in power bi service. So better do analysis on service.
