Sort Rows desc in a matrix by measure with positive and negative values

Hi

 

I would like to know how you can sort rows descending based on the results obtained by a measure. It works fine if I change the Matrix to a table. However, in a matrix the value (%) seems to ignore the (-) sign. I tried removing the subtotal but it does not make a difference.

Most solutions I have seen all refer to columns or going into power query, but havent been lucky enough to a solution for the above. 

Best Regards,

I figured out I cannot filter the way I want in a Matrix when there is more than one row. It is almost the same as not being able to filter on a pivot. Nevertherless, the client accepted a table visuals, thus no subtotals.

@Axiomite , Are you also using a column, if now, can you try to resort to using three dots. If you use column, it will sort only on column grand total
