Can't find "sort by another column" option

G'day, 

 

As the title states I can't find "sort by another column" option?

 

My data set is a view and I have a date field corresponding to a Month-Year field (i.e. Jan 2016 & 01/01/2016)

 

 

Regards,

 

Breedy

In Power BI Desktop, to sort by another column, you just need to select the data field, then choose another field under "Sort By Column".
