Sort table by Column not present in table

Currently to sort table by an attribute, you would need to add column. We are interested in ability to sort by attribute without showing the attribute. This would be done by Power User creating the report and can still be overwritten by consumer if they desire to sort by other attribute present in table.

  • Agree - we have a few scenarios where we want to sort by a column( e.g. RANK) but not display the rank value
  • If this is an issue with the way the query is done in the backend, at least have the ability for us to sort by all columns available in the filter for the table. Other BI products like MicroStategy have had this capability for over 10 years now.
  • This would be very helpful in Matrix when displaying in stepped view. Stepped view does not allow to use the sorting defined in data table
  • 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
