Resolution
The following options can be used to work around the issue:
Option 1
Click on the column header and select either the Sort Ascending or Sort Descending icon in the ubertip.
Option 2
Right-click on the dimension to be sorted and then select Sort. In the sort dialog box, specify which dimension/measure to sort by.
Cause
The ability to sort individual columns with one mark (single mark pane) via sort icon is not currently built into the product.Additional Information
- A total sort can be applied via toolbar sort buttons when the viz has one mark per pane.
- In Tableau 2018.2 and newer versions, clicking on a sort icon that appears above a column header creates a nested sort.
- This type of sort is also the default when using the axis sort icon to sort each individual column.
