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

RE: Add a multiple columns sort featue

Totally agree. The 'solution' of creating a calculated column and sorting by that (similar with joining using multiple columns) is not really good enough.

RE: Add a multiple columns sort featue

I have several reports created where it would be nice to sort on multiple columns. For example (1) number of orders decreasing year and month or (2) seqenced by weeks the number of tickets for each department in decreasing volume.

Part of this want is that the multi column sort is very flexible in MS Excel

RE: Add a multiple columns sort featue

I agree with other comment, at least excel features should be part of Power BI.

RE: Add a multiple columns sort featue

There are many very BASIC features that are not supported by Power BI. This is one of them. I don't think we should even have to vote on something this simple and straightforward - it's a feature of Excel.

Yes please, do add. Looking at migrating functionality from COGNOS impromptu to Power BI Desktop and this is important
