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

This has been implemented for tables as of March 2020:

We're well aware, however, that more can be done to improve its discoverability--as well as to extend support for the feature to other visuals (like the matrix). Keep an eye out for future developments!

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 feature
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 feature
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.
