Sorting The Column Header

Hi, 

So i have this table going on and I want to Sort it by : 
-New Car
-In Warr
-Out Warr

-Aged Car

-Fence Sitter

 


The Age Type Column I couldn't see in my Query Editor as this is a "New column" that I created it in Power BI desktop.
I need help. Not sure on how to go further.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

This is a screenshot of a visual, not of a table in PQ Editor, right?

There are not many reasons to re-order columns in the PQ Editor as it does not flow through to the Designer.

 

If this is a visual then:

1. Create a separate ranking table with two columns: "Headers" and "Rank". The rank would reflect the order you want the headers to appear on the visual.

2. Make a relation to this table from your original table to link headers to, what I guess is, one of your measures/columns.

3. Use the headers from this new table as headers for the table visual.

4. In this new table (in Designer) select the "Header" column and in the ribbon Modelling->Sort by Coumn select "Rank" instead of "Header".

This should re-order the table visual columns to what you want.

 

Kind regards,

JB
