HI @PaisleyMike,

 

Please create a calculate column with custom sort order, then you can use sort by column feature to use new column as sort order.

Sort by column in Power BI Desktop

 

Notice: custom sort order should has similar as current group category.(if sort order will break current group, it can't used as 'sort by column')
