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!

This is available in Excel and all other tools since ages. So basic functionality... I don't understand why this is not possible in Power BI. Please resolve this asap!

RE: Add a multiple columns sort feature
The lack of the ability to do something this basic is why people stick to using R. If we can't sort by two or more columns it is extremely difficult to check that calculated fields are doing what is expected. I'm starting to lose my enthusiasm for Power BI.
