Add another column with the numeric week value, and then sort your Snap_week column by the new column.

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("hdFBC4IwGMbxrzI8G23TTesWdqy0oDyYh5ErJNlEZ+G3b3mJXkFv/8vvZTzLMsfb7qPTIk4SQgjl3jqV8omI4zrvIbCtqNKtLFCqlZO7QPgrIMJpwAIMwMrGRVRlIYxEcV3rxnSqNP2Icp8Bym2cVSGb1ghVTGLmcYCD30N3ujVjEQZAsFkRAuHNCQrn820c5EOb8jvHtcOYcjScWEZamUbcDEKbum70S1TjewxORKa/I6BwFmrj2Nn/uPf/g+Yf", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Funnel_Id = _t, Snap_week = _t, #"Stage Name" = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Week #", each Int16.From(Text.Replace([Snap_week],"week","")))
in
    #"Added Custom"

HI @Anonymous,

You can refer to the following link to create a custom sort table with particular index and legend values and link the fact table field to achieve custom sort order. (create a new table and set the index of these values, use relationship link to raw table field and use sort table fields to replace raw field on your chart)
