You can easily sort a table visual in Power BI by clicking one of its column headers.
Click a column header once to sort in ascending order, then again to sort in descending order.
If you want to sort by more than one column, click the first column header then hold Shift before clicking subsequent columns.
Here I've sorted in descending order of Source, ascending order of Certificate and descending order of Continent.
The sort order will be preserved if you convert the table into another type of visual. This is useful for visuals which can't be sorted by clicking column headers, such as charts.
The order of the Source, Certificate and Continent fields is the same as the table.
If you need to change the chart's sort order, you can convert it back into a table, change the sort order by clicking column headers, then change it back into a chart!
