sort string and special character in DAX

I have created the matrix with format of 2 columns (date_range, %).

 

Source Data (Sample)

 

101/01/2020 to 14/01/2020
1%
215/01/2020 to 31/01/2020
2%

 

I am displaying the above source data in matrix columns, If I place column2 then I want to get a view like below (Daterange first and % next):

 

01/01/2020 to 14/01/2020   |   %

 

But when I included in matrix I am getting like below (% first and Daterange Next)

 

%   |   01/01/2020 to 14/01/2020

 

Tried to sort ascending and descending but the view doesn't change. 

 

I am sure their should be a way to sort the display in format (DateRange first and Percentage next).

 

Any help is appretiated.

 

Thanks

Hi @siva_powerbi ,

I created a sample pbix file(see attachment), please check whether that is what you want.

@siva_powerbi Not entirely certain I am following this. Can you provide sample data as text?

Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
