sort slicer by another column

Hi,

 

I want sort the value in a slicer by another column in the same table. I did in the table level, click the value field then sort on another column desc. However, when I create slicer, it still use value as the sort field. Did I anthing wrong or missed any steps?

OK. I found it myself. In the visual side, the visual must sort in the same way as well.

In Power BI, how do I sort slicer values (other than by name)? 

Use the Eric Barr answer.

The trick is to highlight the column header (Table View).  Then use Columns tools (ribbon) > Sort by column to then choose the 'hidden' sorting column.

Hi, 

 

select the field in the data pane on report view. Then on the column tools ribbon select sort by column and select your sort order.
