sort tooltip

I have a line chart with a tool tip that show loan# and the $amt in the tooltip that show automatically. The problem is the tooltip is sort by account# and /i would rather it was sorted by the $amt.

Yes the tooltip is showing as well. It's only giving me export data, show data, remove and spotlight.

I just did at my end it is giving me sort option. Are you using most recent powerbi desktop version? Can you share you screen shot what visual you are using and values you have on it?

    The version I'm using is:  2.52.4921.682 64-bit (November 2017)

     

    I can see the sort by in the elipse but that doesn't hange the tooltip. I'm thinking I'll have to write a custom tooltip maybe.

      Well, I guess it is not sort in tooltip. I don;t think you can turn off default tool tip value but you can surely add your own tooltip. So writing custom value for tooltip is not a bad idea but you will not turn off the default one, keep that in mind.

       

      I think there are some ideas on idea forum and vote for the idea to disable tooltip.

        Wait a sec. What is the point to writing a tooltip if you can't get rid of the default one? I know putting a data field in the tooltip section is a waste of time.
