OK its the end of the week but and a simple sort is defeating me....
So I want to sort a table by two columns and then I will remove duplicate so keeping the top most one of each - works normally but today tried it again on a new data set and while I ask it to sort.Ascending it sorts it decending!
#"Wrangle DATReport2: Sort" = Table.Sort(#"Wrangle DATReport2: Create Sort IDX", {{"CountySRNum", Order.Ascending}, {"Sort_IDX", Order.Ascending}})
I always thourght 2 came before 3 !!
Anyone any ideas....
Thanks

Hi @Timaru_Golf ,
Table.Sort (and List.Sort) won't keep their order without a Buffer-function around it:

So the work around was to create a temp column with the columns wanted to sort.
But still none the wiser why the Sort method is not giving the expacted results.
