Hi,

 

The visual is sorting the column1 alphabetically by default. If there is another column in the dataset that has ranks for the column1, it can be used as a 'Sort by column'. Then the visual will order it according to the 'Sort by Column' values. 

 

If you are manually entering data, then enter something like this in the dataset-

Column 1rank
Global1
NCSA2
EARC3
MENA4
APAC5

After loading the data, on the data view, select the column1 and select rank in 'Sort by Column' under Modeling tab

 

If the dataset is huge or it is loaded from a database, you can create another table with the column1 and rank, later merge queries to get the rank column to the dataset and then use it to sort column1.
