Power App embedded in Power Bi integration - pass sort order

[matt_genevieve]

Hi

Idea: Pass sort / order to embedded Power App within Power Bi report.

I've also made this as a ~90 second video to aid communication (which I'll add in the comments).

My challenge, which I just can't drop, is as follows. 

I have a PowerBi table element and I need to include the current (live) sort somewhere in the table (via an added column or measure).

The reason for this is that, I've embedded a Power Apps visual to show more details from the records in the table. It works great, the records can be navigated and a filtered to matche the PowerBi table. The additional user experience and interactivity is wonderful.

It's particularly brilliant to be able to navigate the list via the app as well as the PowerBi table.

But.... it only really make sense if the record navigation matches the table order, which it does with the default sort (ID). If I add a filter and click a column (to change the sort), the data exposed via [@PowerBIIntegration].Data is filtered, but always in the same order.

I know that, via dax / added column, I could add an ISFILTERED ( Column ) and output a string of the name of the column(s) that have been filtered, which the app would be able to read and act upon. But, I cannot see a way to access the sort / order for the query outputting the table.

Thanks,

Matt
