When a selection is made on a slicer, that selected value will be moved to the top of the slicer. That way if you make multiple selections you can see all of them easily without having to scroll through the entire slicer.

This is a necessity. We have large data sets and I cannot believe the selected values do not bubble to the top of the list. Qlikview does this so well. The selections are highlighted in green, and go to the top of the list. The white values are not selected and gray means they are not in the current view of the data. It is super user-friendly.

Instead of creating a new visualization altogether, perhaps this could be one of the formatting options on the current one?

Having to select each individual box to group certain items is super tedious when there are over 30 fields to choose from and all you want to do is remove one...

RE: Slicer Selection to Top of Slicer

It´s impossible for end users to see if something is selected within long list slicers which can lead to wrong conclusions. It´s crucial to habe the selections on top or at least visualize that something is selected in this list slicer.

Paired with the fact that it´s not possible to "clear all slicer selections" at once at the moment, this is a huge killer for trust in applications.

This is kind of like a basic requirement that all reporting tools have. Come on Power BI team, please make this happen.
