Sorting issue for Rows with Matrix

[Anonymous]

Hello, having issues Sorting within a Matrix. I have a field named "Sort". What it does is sorts By date the Category/SubCategory/Element so that they are continuously in the same order each time I get new records flowing in daily. Please see that I brought the "Sort" field in to Values in to order to sort but the issues is that anytime a new day's worth of data flows in, the column I brought for Sort shows up. I want it completely hidden. So maybe I'm going about this completely wrong. Is there a better way?

So as new dates flow into my matrix, I am forced to hide the sort column each time. I dont want to have to do this.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

I'd suggest to create three different sort columns, one for Category, one for Subcategory and one for Element.

After, assign each column to its correspinding sort column:

Would this solve your issue? 🙂
