Use Power BI's "Sort by" feature to sort your original column by the new "Sort Order" column you just created. For example, if you had Year in the columns of a matrix. You could get them in descending order by creating a new column Sort Order = -Year. Then use the Sort By feature in Power BI to sort Year by your new Sort Order column.
