Slicer Cards - Need to be able to sort the options

DataMaven

Here's the use case that I am facing.  I am sure there are many others!

 

I have categories which I want to display in a certain order.  I have a field which enables them to be ordered properly in any other visualizations.  For my slicer, I want the options to be sorted in the same manner.  

 

I am also finding that values are sorted as text by default, even when the values are numbers.  This makes it impssible to properly sort 1-10 any time the values go above 10.
