Hi @Anonymous ,
Please try to add a custom column in Power Query and then change the type of the column to Whole Number.
Order_PQ =
Text.End([Date], 4) & Text.PadStart( Text.Select( Text.Start([Date],3), {"0".."9"} ), 2, "0")
Or add the calculated column.
Order_calculatedColumn =
RIGHT ( [Date], 4 ) & FORMAT ( VALUE ( MID ( [Date], 2, 2 ) ), "00" )
Then sort [Date] column by [Order_PQ] (or [Order_calculatedColumn]) field.
If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
Winniz

@PhilipTreacy
If you look at the screen shot, the period Name of is not sorted correctly that all. I tried sorted by column that won't work.

@Anonymous
Sorry still not clear. What's the Period Name : P1 2022 etc? How is this not sorted correctly?
Are you expecting it to be : P1 2022, P2 2022, P3 2022? If so then you should state that so we don't have to guess what it is you want as a result. You haven't provided any source data so we have to infer a lot from your image.
If this is the issue you mean, you are seeing this because your period names are text, hence what you see is properly sorted text.
If you want to see P1 2022, P2 2022 etc then you need to make your periods numeric or create a numeric Sort By column and sort the text period names by that.

Can you please supply your file so we don't have to recreate everything, and we can see what you have tried.

Your request is unclear. Please state clearly the issue and show an example of the result you want.
Please supply data, preferably as a file, or at least as a table, Images on their own are no good to us if we have to retype everything into PQ.
