It would make a huge difference to the depth of analysis that can be done in Power BI if this functionality is added.

I just watched a Udemy video of how easy it is in Tableau how to order data in a bar chart by multiple columns -- region then sales. It is a complete pain to do the same in Power BI. If this is to be Microsoft's answer to BI, they need to have the basics covered. It is a promising product but bloody painful to use at times. The only way I can get the table to sort properly is to create bar chart and filter only one region and then sort the data descending. Then copy/paste/align the chart to the right of the existing chart then filter a different region, resize so the bars are the same size in width--repeat for each region. It works but horribly inefficient. Microsoft, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, add this feature, soon!

A must have and hoping for it to happen this year.

Unbelievable that it's not already there, always embarrassing explaining to clients that this isn't possible

More info on the Feb 28 Comment. I think the original poster is referring to the query editor in PowerBI Desktop. You can sort on multiple columns there. Not sure how this ripples through to the PowerBI service and changes made to sorting there

this would be great - every client that has seen our dashboards has asked for this!

Anyone who uses excel on regular basis comes to rely on multiple column sorts, so to not have this functionality in such a vastly superior tool as Power BI is really disappointing. Please add this asap.

That would be a useful feature. Not having this frequently creates awkward issues - sometimes easy to work around, but still a pain.
