Matrix value sorting multiple years

Matrix won't pick up value sort.pngHi,

 

I am trying to sort the attached values in a brand (first column) from high (top) to low (bottom). In the KES3_1 column I have subbrands, but I don't care about how they are sorted. So the first sort that should happen is alfabetical based on the yellow (sorry had to cover because of policy) covers and after that the red covers should be sorted based on the highest values in a brand. 

 

Does anyone know how to do that? It is currently sorting based on the total of the 2 years and the brands are not in ABC order. 

 

Does anyone know how to solve this? I want to sort on the brand and the 2019 value!

 

Devon

hi, @DevonVanDam 

To my knowledge, It couldn't achieve that Sort columns by value in matrix visual, you could only sort by total value or dim field in matrix

here is the idea you could vote for it and make this feature coming sooner.

@DevonVanDam I afraid that you can do use more than one sort column in matrix, so once you sorted on brand or 2019, you cannot sort 2nd column.

 

Post an idea on ideas forum with this feature if there is one doesn't exist or vote existing idea.

Is it possible to sort based on 2019 only then?
