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!

RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature

Please add the multiple sorting functionality in Power BI Matrix visual. This is really important and would be an extremely useful feature in grid visuals

RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature

When is this going to be available for a matrix?

RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature

Please can we extend the multiple sorting of columns to the matrix visual and also include the ability to hide columns as well

RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature

This seems very common sense. I want to group data in a matrix and then sort by a ranking within those groups. Why is this not possible?

RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature

This is still needed for non-table visualizations, I need for example to be able to sort a column chart by first major groups then each item in that group alphabetically. Thank you.

RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature

Please add this feature. All my report in my project needs custom sorting as we use matrix visual in most of our reports

RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature

So needed! A pivot basic in excel, most basic is say Sort by brand and revenue and then drill down sorted by date.
