How to display Decending or Ascending order value in Quick Filter? Just say I have Date quick filter and default sorting order is ascending.

01/31/2011

02/28/2011

03/30/2011

 

Now I want these values in DESC sorting order in Quick filter.

03/30/2011

02/28/2011

01/31/2011

    I had the similar problem and I am using Tableau 9 desktop. This is how i achieved descending order for my date field quick filter. Right click on the date field and transform the field to a new custom date field and then set the default sort property to descending. Now include this new field as a quick filter (this new field is essentially the same field)

    Please check my attached screenshots.

     

    I am transforming my "WeekEnding" date field to a custom date field, which is called WeekEnding (Month / Day / Year)  then set the default sort property of WeekEnding (Month / Day / Year)  to Descending. (Right click on the field -->  Default properties --> Sort --> Descending)

    I had the similar problem and I am using Tableau 9 desktop. This is how i achieved descending order for my date field quick filter.

     

    Included WeekEnding (Month / Day / Year)  as quick filter, renamed the title of the quick filter to "Week Ending"
