    Hi dineshkumar_vrv,

     

    Currently, only one column can be sorted with the sort option in Power BI. Here is an idea about adding a multiple columns sort feature. You can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature.

     

    In addition, an alternative way to sort both payment column and Quantile column is using the formula(DAX) below to add a new calculate column in your table, then sort by the new created column. :smileyhappy:

    Column4 = Table2[payment]+Table2[Quantile]

    Regards
