you need to be in the data tab for it to work - but you may have limited access in there because of the direct query.

This may help.

 

On the data tab, you can use 'Sort by Column' that dictates the sort and impacts any visuals that it's in.

you have to select the field you want to sort and this will make it available - then choose the variable from the drop down that you want to sort by.
