Bar Chart: How to apply different sorting for different dimensions

Hi,

I have a bar chart where I am using Field Parameter to let user select what Breakdown the user wants to see.

Is it possible to sort the chart in specific order when Job Level breakdown is shown, and different sorting order when other options are selected ?

If this is not possible, is it possible to choose a custom sort order for each option the user have ?

E.g. for Perm/Temp I want Temp to be on top of Perm, and For Job Level I want to sort by 1,2,3,4, ...

I have tried to use the Sort option at the top right corner of the visual, but when I change the Breakdown By parameter value, it forgets the choice:
