You are right that it rearranges the order. I think you can acheive this through a little trick if feasible for you.
Just rename the columns as A.FiscalYear , B.Quarter & C.Month
Hope this would resolve your issue.
Regards
Affan

hi, @balakrishna141
the fields in FIELDS and FILTERS are set to sort alphabetically by default. and it can be changed for now.
You could rename the fields by adding a prefix to sort them as a workaround for now.
for example:
3FiscalMOnthNumber
2FiscalQuarter
1FiscalYear
For your requirement, you could post your new idea in Power BI ideas and make this feature coming sooner .
Best Regards,
Lin

It is not clear what you are looking for. Can you please share you pbix file if possible? or atleast a screenshot of what you are currently having on the report and how you want it to be.

Remove all the filters in the filter pane and re-add them in the order you want
