sort 100% stacket column chart by created measure

Hello everyone, I have the followin stacket column chart, and I woukd like to sort the the percent values and is not working by the ordinary way. I only have the option below., and if the I choose market share asc or desc nothing happens, there's a way to put the the the larger number at the end and grow the stacked till the lowest? In the image is working cause a I put some space/tab into the name of legend.

The measure is 

Market Share =

VAR RAT =
sum(SOA[Rat_Per])

var allRAT =
CALCULATE( sum(SOA[Rat_Per]), ALL ( SOA[Owner]))

RETURN
DIVIDE(RAT,allRAT)

I don't know an easier way other than what you've tried to do with the legend.

You can however, do the same thing without it visibly affecting the legend.

 

I do something similar to control complex table sorting requirements with this...

SortUnderHours = 
//UNICHAR(8203) is a zero width space REPT() repeats a character x many times.
//More spaces sort at the top when in DESC order.

VAR __HR = [HoursRemaining]
VAR __DCE = [DaysToCycleEnd]
VAR __HRCD = [HoursRemaining_CycleDays]
VAR _c = 8203
RETURN
SWITCH
    (TRUE()
        , __HR <= 0, BLANK()
        , AND(__DCE = 0, __HR > 0), REPT( UNICHAR(_c) , 3)
        , __HRCD > 12, REPT( UNICHAR(_c) , 5)
        , __HRCD >= 8, REPT( UNICHAR(_c) , 4)
        , __HRCD < 8, REPT( UNICHAR(_c) , 2)
        , BLANK()

    )

 

You could adapt this for your legend potentially to control the sorting. It'll take some work which I don't have time for right now but hopefully it'll get you started.

Hi @Anonymous ,

It is not supported to sort a stacked column chart by value in Power BI currently .There is an idea about this issue, please vote it up,  Stacked bar chart total sort , to improve the Power BI.

 

I have also found a similar post, please refer to it to see if it helps you.

Stacked column chart: Sort legend by value, not alphabet 

  • If you have only one category on X-axis, you can have your Legend column sort by Value column.
  • If you have multiple catgories on X-axis, this method will not work. You have to manually define the order column in your table. 

Best Regards
