Hi all, I'm looking to sort a graph based on the values in last row with smallest or blank values to the left and largest to the right. I'm using power query and a pivot table to pull the data from csv files.
I can't seem to find anything in the query editor and "Sort left to right" is greyed out.

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
I sort figured out my own solution but it's only working for one graph and not another.
After the table is pivoted and blanks are populated with nulls. Replaced all nulls with "0". Unpivoted the table. Sorted the Values column. Re-pivoted the table.
One graph gives me the expected results but the other seems random.
Working graph and code:

Code:
let
    Source = Folder.Files("Z:\Isco_Battery_Graphs"),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each [Extension] = ".csv"),
    #"Filtered Hidden Files1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows", each [Attributes]?[Hidden]? <> true),
    #"Invoke Custom Function1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Filtered Hidden Files1", "Transform File from Test", each #"Transform File from Test"([Content])),
    #"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Invoke Custom Function1", {"Name", "Source.Name"}),
    #"Removed Other Columns1" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Renamed Columns1", {"Source.Name", "Transform File from Test"}),
    #"Expanded Table Column1" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns1", "Transform File from Test", Table.ColumnNames(#"Transform File from Test"(#"Sample File"))),
    #"Filtered Rows3" = Table.SelectRows(#"Expanded Table Column1", each Text.Contains([Column1], "AM")),
    #"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows3", each Text.Contains([Source.Name], "LA")),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows1",{{"Column2", type number}, {"Column1", type datetime}}),
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Changed Type",{{"Column2", Order.Descending}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Sorted Rows", List.Distinct(#"Sorted Rows"[Source.Name]), "Source.Name", "Column2"),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{{"Column1", "Date"}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Renamed Columns",null,0,Replacer.ReplaceValue,Table.ColumnNames(#"Renamed Columns")),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Replaced Value", {"Date"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Sorted Rows1" = Table.Sort(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{{"Value", Order.Ascending}}),
    #"Pivoted Column1" = Table.Pivot(#"Sorted Rows1", List.Distinct(#"Sorted Rows1"[Attribute]), "Attribute", "Value", List.Sum),
    #"Replaced Value1" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Pivoted Column1",0,null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,Table.ColumnNames(#"Pivoted Column1")),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Replaced Value1",{{"Date", type date}})
in
    #"Changed Type1"

Well I managed to get it sorted. Not totally sure if it's 100% correct but it seems to work.
Ended up needing to sort the date in an unpivoted table so the newest is at the top and then sort the values.
Hopefully this will help someone else as well...
