Matrix table sorting by column name

[mcosta1988]

Hi everyone,

I am creating a simple matrix table showing my total sales per month.

I would like to sort the companies by sales when I click on the month column.

For example, when I click on the March column, it should order the company and show it in an ascendent order, the same way it works for the TOTAL and COMPANY column. I realized that the columns are not giving these options for the Matrix table.

Any idea how I should do this?

Hi @mcosta1988,

You can create a custom sort table with field value and index, then you can build relationships between two tables and use the new field on matrix column to achieve custom sort effect:

@mcosta1988 , in Matrix visual you can not sort on column value(pivot), You can sort on rows and values/measures or values/measures total
