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

We need to sort for example by document number and second sort by doc details line ...

Multiple columns search is a basic need .

RE: Add a multiple columns sort featue

Was evaluating Power BI for 15 minutes and found this feature to be lacking. The current thread has been open for 2 years without the feature being implemented; this is crazy. Switching to another BI software now.

RE: Add a multiple columns sort featue

This needs to be something that is implemented! Currently working on a report that I need to sort by the year/month and the count of records. A nested sort option would solve this so easily!

RE: Add a multiple columns sort featue

The sorting done in Power Query (sorted by multple columns) is not maintained in the visuals. So the whole point of sorting during the ETL is lost when trying to do the visuals.
As much as the need for multple column sort in visuals it is equally important to maintain the sorting done during ETL using Power Query.
Made this comment in the below thread as well as it has more votes.
https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/11185431-add-a-multiple-columns-sort-featue

These two threads should be combined and that will move this idea further up in votes.
