I need to sort by three columns. All columns have duplicates by design. I need to sort by names with date and day all in ascending order

I need all duplicate names to show in succession in ascending order with all dates and day numbers for each name also in ascending order.

Sorting by columns in power query does not translate onto the table visual. Only the first name has the dates and day numbers in ascending number. All other names do not start with the first date and day 1. Please see below:

Employee Name Date Day Prog
Allen, Hunter 9/12/2023 1
Allen, Hunter 9/13/2023 2
Allen, Hunter 9/14/2023 3
Allen, Hunter 9/15/2023 4
Allen, Hunter 9/18/2023 5
Allen, Hunter 9/19/2023 6
Allen, Hunter 9/20/2023 7
Andersen, Christian 9/12/2023 4
Andersen, Christian 9/13/2023 5
Andersen, Christian 9/14/2023 6
Andersen, Christian 9/15/2023 7
Andersen, Christian 9/18/2023 8
Andersen, Christian 9/19/2023 9
Andersen, Christian 9/20/2023 10
Andersen, Christian 9/6/2023 1
Andersen, Christian 9/7/2023 2
Andersen, Christian 9/8/2023 3
Atchinson, Grant 9/12/2023 6
Atchinson, Grant 9/13/2023 7
Atchinson, Grant 9/14/2023 8
Atchinson, Grant 9/15/2023 9
Atchinson, Grant 9/16/2023 10
Atchinson, Grant 9/19/2023 11
Atchinson, Grant 9/20/2023 12
Atchinson, Grant 9/5/2023 1
Atchinson, Grant 9/6/2023 2
Atchinson, Grant 9/7/2023 3
Atchinson, Grant 9/8/2023 4
Atchinson, Grant 9/9/2023 5

  • I need all names dates and program days to be in ascending order like the first one, Allen. Allen starts with the earliest date and the earliest program number. Anderson starts with Day 4 and Atchison starts with Day 6. I need Anderson and Atchison to have day 1 and the earliest dates to be the first entry for their names in the table.

  • You do not show your code so hard to tell what you did wrong. But you merely have to sort the table in the precedence order you wish — 1st Employee Name; 2nd Date; 3rd Day Prog only if there might be duplicate Dates
