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:
Power BI Desktop March 2020 Feature Summary | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI
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!

This really needs to be completed soon.
RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature
Absolutely necessary, it is one of the basic feature for analytic tool to have
RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature
This is a simple sort that would solve a ton of formatting issues and calculations. Please add the sort option.

Very simple need
RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature
Looks like I get to join the crowd here asking why Microsoft why? This seems like such a basic and standard feature across many of your products but not in Powerbi? Being limited to one sort in a table is not cutting it, for me a Matrix is not going to work. As a work around I tried sorting my data in SQL first, it appears correctly in the query editor within Powerbi but then the table just ignores my order by reference. A few weeks ago my boss forwarded one our our Customers Tableau reports, I thought it was a logical choice to continue using a Microsoft products, based on the other software we use but I guess it is time to check out the competition.
RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature
Agree. Business needs this. We don't need to solve this on query level. It is on visual level for end users.
RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature
QoL for end users is vital in moving towards report standardisation. It is impossible for me to ask people to move away from home brew excel solutions when basic functionality is lost. Admin please update on where things currently are with this. Tableau does not seem to have this issue.
RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature
Agreed - silly that this is available in Excel but not Power BI
