Sort column with non-distinct values

Hi,

 

I have the data as below. Column2 is the display column and I want to sort it by Sort column. I am unable to sort as there are multiple columns with the same name There will always be only 1 template selected. Please let me know if we can achieve this in Power BI

 

TemplateColumn2Sort
Template1Value11
Template1Value22
Template1Value33
Template2Value21
Template2Value32

 

Thanks in Advance

@Anonymous sort value for value 2 and value 3 is different in bottom two rows, if these have the same sort value, it will work. basically column you are sorting and the value you are sorting by should be unique

@parry2k , Template + Column2 is a unique value as we always query only on 1 Template. The display column is only the Display Column
