Hi @sompolk ,

 

If you arrange multiple columns in power query and want to save the arranged results. May wish to create an index after the arrangement. After "close and apply", add an index column to the table to display the latest sort results. But in desktop, only one column can be sorted.

 

There is also a type of case for reference:Solved: Sorting a table using multiple columns - Microsoft Power BI Community

 

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.


Best Regards,
Henry
