Displaying Matrix data with values and columns

I'm struggling with displaying data on my matrix.  I like that my first value (Total Hours Worked) is broken apart by the column (Weekday).  I only want the second value (First Planned Hours) to show as a single column, and NOT broken apart by the column.  If you look at the screenshot below, I want to keep the columns in green, and remove the columns in red.
Bonus points to anyone who can tell me how to order my columns by weekday (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...) 

Thank you for reading!

@RobHess05 Try activating "Show measures on rows" perhaps? You would need to sort your Weekday column by a numeric weekday number column which you would add in Power Query and use the Sort by under Column tools to do the sort. If all else fails, I did invent a kind of nasty way of doing custom matrix hierarchies/columns:
