I have tried a number of times to get a row to custom sort in a matrix. I tried setting up and importing a table and I added a conditional column to my master table. I cannot get the Matrix to sort based on the order I have given it. The Sort Fields button when it is visible does not do anything and the Sort Option does not show the added field.
Anny suggestions?

Ok Thanks I will research some more. I am using a matrix. I have Time descriptions in the Row. I would like to Sort them in an order other than alphabetical.
I simply added a letter to the start of the text. A thru J. Not ideal but cannot spend hours on it.
