We kindly request you to verify if the problem persists with this latest version. If the issue has been resolved, we would appreciate it if you could mark your post as ‘Answered’. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi @datacollection 

Do you have the same number of distinctcount output for those two rows?  In order to sort the column by another column, this has to be the case.

Hi @datacollection 

 

In order to use the sort by column, your sort by column should have the same number of unique values as the sorted column, so that there's no ambiguity when sorting.  

 

Best regards,

there is no ambiquity when sorting. i checked data with dax query view
