    Hi could you try first sorting those fact and dim tables based on the key columns before trying to merge those tables

    Then use Table.Buffer to freeze the data afterb sorting

    Then merge them

    If there are transformations to the data try doing those before the merge happens

    And sort order is not define in PowerQuery, except after a sort. As was stated by Imke in the solution of the post you referred to in your post.
