Check the datatype of your 'batch sort' field. It should be Number.
Usually if the data type of sort field is Text, then it sorts as you have shown in the screenshot

The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
Appreciate your Kudos.160475 Thanks for sharing your query. For sorting the data correctly follow the steps below:
1. Goto the data view2. Change the data type of BatchSort to Number
3. Select the column (i.e. BATCH) and then click on the dropdown "Sort by column"
4. Select BatchSort column from the drop down
5. Now, goto the report view and the data should be sorted as expected in the table visual
NOTE: If the data is still not sorted, then you need to perform additional step, on the table visual select the Sort By as shown in the below snapshot.
