You can see the Other dimension value is all over the place.

The ProductName dimension is a calculated dimension with the following expression:

How can I set the sort of ProductName values so that it's all the specific products first and Other is always the last in the list?

Try this:

Step 1: Sort order expression: (Sorting Descending)

=Match(ProductName, 'Other', ProductName)

Step2: Remove check from y-axis sorting on CompanyName tab:

Hi Sunny,

Thanks I forgot to mention, what if I wanted it to sort by the Sales value (Highest to lowest) on the specific products first and then the last value should be Other?

If you still want to keep Company name to be in Descending order. You can use this sorting expression for CompanyName:

Aggr(NODISTINCT Sum(LineSalesAmount), CompanyName)

Output:
