Hello,
I´ve got questions if is there any way how to change breakdown order in waterfall? Everystime I see only descending or ascending order, even if I sort breakdown as per specific column with my own sort.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @mmadera23 ,
Sorting by break-down is not supported, and that is by design.
If you would like to suggest feature improvements, you may vote the idea and comment Microsoft Idea (powerbi.com) to improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

I do not understand why this limitation is by design. Please explain.
I have created the idea at https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=a950946a-b7ca-ee11-92bd-000d3ad9d8ca please vote and add your comments there.
Hi,
Seemingly this is not supported at the time.
