Horizontal Sorting of tables

Hi guys,

 

Is there any way we can sort pivot table horizontally similar to we have in Excel pivot tables? Where we can sort values based on columns instead of having columns in alphabetical order. 

 

Cheers

Hi @Anonymous,

 

The Pivot table you mentioned above is called Matrix visual in Power BI, right? Currently, it is not possible to sort matrix by column headers. We can see there are only two oprions: sort by row, sort by value.
