Needs VotesAbility to specify custom sort (or order) on the Groups created through UI

The newly available groups cannot be custom sorted unless additional sort column for this group is added in the model which is not so good. While creating the custom groups, Arrow buttons to move groups Up Down should be available and this order should be used by default sorting unless the user wants to sort asc or desc by some measure.

RE: Ability to specify custom sort (or order) on the Groups created through UI
Just ran in to this issue now. One of about 30 issues I would've expected would have a normal, easy solution, but it requires you to obfuscate your data tables by adding additional columns, helper tables, custom DAX, etc etc, all to produce the same result you can get in Excel. Ridiculous.

Ridiculous that key features such as this is absent in the product.

How is this still an issue can this be addressed

Sorting legends is such a hassle in Power BI. Every graph needs some custom table and a massive unintuitive rigmarole just to get it looking like Excel. And I used to think Excel graphs were awful.

I am new to PowerBI and was amazed and really disappointed to find out that using your own sort order in an easy way (without using extra sorting table or giving numbers to the variables) is not possible. Tableau and QlikSense handle this perfectly, come on Microsoft!

The little things make a professional product

Please add this Microsoft. So far I am very disappointed with Power BI. There seems to be a lot of very obvious things missing.

This is a no brainer. To have to make your own sorting by putting number in front of the text to sort it in the order that you want is tedious and the outcome of the text is not good.
RE: Ability to specify custom sort (or order) on the Groups created through UI
Please can this be included in the roadmap, sometimes the small things make a big difference (Just like a select all on a slicer search would do as well)
RE: Ability to specify custom sort (or order) on the Groups created through UI
The mere fact that this request has been waiting since 2016 is astounding. This is a feature available in other applications. Maybe the devs can hold off on new DAX formulas until they add basic things like custom sorts for groups.
