How to sort Matrix Visualizations

I want to sort a matrix visualization in Power BI with three columns: two text and one numeric columns. I need to sort it based on the Rank column while keeping the State column in its original order. Essentially, I need to sort based on two columns: State (text) and Rank (numeric).
Data:

State

City

Rank

Maharashtra

Nagpur

4

 

Thane

3

 

Mumbai

1

 

Pune

2

MP

Indore

2

 

Ujjain

4

 

Bhopal

1

 

Jabalpur

3

 

Output:

State

City

Rank

Maharashtra

Mumbai

1

 

Pune

2

 

Thane

3

 

Nagpur

4

MP

Bhopal

1

 

Indore

2

 

Jabalpur

3

 

Ujjain

4

      The text field comes from a table, and the rank is a measure based on a numeric value from table
