Custom Sort/Order Table or Matrix

[anirudh_rao1]

Why is it so complicated to custom sort or order a column in power bi table or matrix? This is an extremely simple and basic requirement for any BI dashboard and it shouldn't be such a hassle to create Indices every time to sort. It doesn't seem practical to create indices for 10 columns each time I need to sort.

Columns in a matrix should have the same options as a pivot table in Excel. A report designer should be able to move columns left or right, beginning or end.

Beef up the Matrix hierarchical sorting functionality as per: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/11185431-add-a-multiple-columns-sort-featue

Same with rows. In a P&L statement, I need to put items in sequence. Do you understand?! SEQUENCE!!!
