Project Summary Subtasks Matrix

I'm trying to use a matrix table to display projects, summary tasks and tasks in a drill down to expand and collapse at each level. 

This is the project level from the project table.

But when I expland the project, the summary tasks are at the same level of all tasks and sorted alphabetically.  Annual Activities is a summary task.  Yet, the listing give it me me as a task (see project image below this).

It should look like this.

Hi @Anonymous,

I'd like to suggest you create a table with all value field names and an index column to setting custom sort order.

Custom Sorting in Power BI – Power BI & Excel are better together (excelnaccess.com)
After these steps, you can use the new table filed on matrix column, then you can write a measruer formula to get the current field value to lookup raw table field values.

Hi, 
Need help regarding extracting Task Summary Names too.
How did you solve this issue?
I checked the answer marked as the solution but did not quite understand it.
I am using Microsoft Project Online to extract details. 
Currently, Power BI is extracting everything as a normal Task only.
Can you explain how did you highlight which Task names are Summary Tasks?

Thanks !!

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

you should be able to solve that with a sort by column for each column:

I can't seem to get that to work.   The template I'm using is from the Microsoft project dashboard download.  If you look above the project image (from the Annual Schedule projecy) has summary/subtasks.  The Task Name is from the Project Task Table.  What column would I use to sort.
