    Easier way, add sorted rows, buffer and remove duplicate step 

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTI0UIrVgTDNwSwnIMsSzjI0UoqNBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", Int64.Type}}),
        #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Changed Type",{{"Column2", Order.Ascending}}),
        #"Buffered" = Table.Buffer(#"Sorted Rows"),
        #"Removed Duplicates" = Table.Distinct(Buffered, {"Column1"})
    in
        #"Removed Duplicates"
