Manually reorder a bar chart?

What are the options to manually reorder a bar chart in Power BI? In Tableau, it is super easy to do by using CTL+click and just dragging and reordering the categories in the visual. However in Power BI it seems if I want to do the same, I'd have to create another column and assign a numerical rank to each of the categories in the bar chart and then sort by that new column. As my 12 categoreies have quite lengthy names, is there any way I can get this done quickly?

 

I mean I'm pretty sure by the time I get a response, I will have typed out that lengthy DAX formula anyways, but just for future's sake.

Power BI doesn't have an option to do unless you add a helper column to sort unfortunately as far as I know.
