Default Sorting Order, Default Date Fields and Interaction Behavior

Dear Power BI Development Team,

I have some improvement suggestions that would significantly save time in building dashboards.

  1. Default Sorting Order for Bar Charts:

    Currently, when creating bar charts, the default behavior is to sort the series by values in descending order. It would be very useful to have an option to change this default behavior to sort by series labels in ascending order.
  2. Default Interaction Between Visuals:

    The default interaction setting between visuals is currently set to Highlight. I propose allowing this default setting to be changed to Filter. Filtering often provides a clearer view of the relationship between data by focusing on relevant information, making it a preferred choice for many users.
  3. Short Date Format as Default for Date Fields
    Currently, new date fields are always formatted as long date, even if you set them to Short Date in Power Query. The suggestion is to set the short date format as the default for Date fields.
  4.  

Thank you!
