How to Sort with a Parameter in Tableau [Tableau Tips] 

Amazinggggggg!!!! You are a life saver!! Getting thrown into Tableau for work w/ basically no training on how to use it. This was so helpful and informative!! Every single other tutorial on sorting w/ parameters was so unhelpful. Luckily this vid was recommended to me by RU-vid. It was so easy to follow and understand. I hope you come back and continue making videos! Would love it if you could make a tutorial on how to switch visualizations based on parameters/filters! 🙂

Great technique and explanation. Thanks for sharing, Gaia! On top of it, it's a really unique material (I read and watch almost everything about Tableau).

If not notice, the moment you convert a numerical value to a string, in this case Sales, Tableau converted your Sales value to ASCII characters values and tried to sort Sales based on ASCII character value and not actual sales values. Hence 274 is ranked 8th while 2896 is below that, which is factually incorrect!
