How to group data columns in matrix based on binary value

I have a matrix table below, and have a condition "is supplier Mphasis" which is always yes or no. I want to create a column hierarchy? (not sure if that is the correct phrase) where it splits the data like the second picture below.

When I add the data to the condition data into the column section in power bi visualization, it splits the data but also adds a total section which i do not need.

I would also like to have the data grouped within the yes to be shown before the no.

Hi @avacadoDaily ,

 

For your first query- When I add the data to the condition data into the column section in power bi visualization, it splits the data but also adds a total section which i do not need.

Solution: In SubTotals section, turn off the Per row level and Per column level option.

The setting should be like:

For your second query of the sorting order, please refer any of the below as per your suitability:

@avacadoDaily add yes/no column after the existing column you have on columns, instead of this as the first column
