Sort slicer by column

Hi everyone,

 

I have created a slicer that lists the study names I have loaded in power bi. I'm trying to sort the slicer using a column within the table used to build the slicer called 'id'.

 

For that purpose, I have gone to the modelling tab and selected the 'id' column and click sort by column. However it seems the slicer is not affected and still shows the items alphabetically.   Also, the tables are in direct query mode, in case it makes any difference.

 

Can anyone please help me ?

 

thanks a lot in advance!

 

Best regards

Laura

hi  @LauraBueno 

For your case, you should selected "study names" filed then click sort by column and choose 'ID'.

By the way, here is a blog for you refer to:

Hi @amitchandak ,

 

Thank you for your message. However, I still have the same issue.

 

For the first link you shared, I dont see the option of "sort by" within the slicer, maybe that works only for certain graphs?

 

As for the second link, I had already created a column and used it to sort the entire table using that column however the slicer doesn't seem to be affected by it and still displays the items alphabetically.

 

Any ideas of how to make it work?

 

thanks

Laura

hi @v-lili6-msft ,

 

many thanks for your reply! That worked nicely 🙂

 

Just a small question related to that, how could I do the same but order the items in desceding id order? I tried clicking twice in order column but doesn't seem to make a difference.

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

best regards

Laura
