    If it is possible please provide the multiple columns sort . For example I want to sort the table visualization based on Priority and severity

    In matrix visual: First sort by field 1 and then by field 2 etc - this is an essential requirement! E.g. First sort by Total, then by month. Thanks.

    Even Excel knows this functionality. :-) It would be a very nice to have when sorting on yearweeknumber.

    Adding to the chorus for inclusion of multi-column sorting (for either table visualizations or underlying queries). This is a very basic reporting task which is trivial to do in Excel or SQL. I am shocked to find out it is not possible in Power BI. My Fortune 500 organization is evaluating Power BI for possible use at an enterprise level, but this sort of deficiency precludes full-scale adoption.

    RE: Add a multiple columns sort featue

    This is called Advanced Sorting in most BI tools. It usually opens a pop-up window where you can select the first column you want to sort on on and the associated sorting order.
    Then you can add other columns you want to sort on next.
    It should also give you the possibility to move columns up and down to manage the order in which the sorting should be applied
