How can I sort in a Matrix Text Column by an specific order and not by A-Z nor Z-A?
I have a work flow order:
- Process "A" In Progress
- Process "A" Rejected
- Process "A" Completed
- Process "B" In Progress
- Process "B" Rejected
- Process "B" Completed
For now I have the numbers in the left to make the automatic order A-Z. But I need to remove them.
I am trying to make a sort list as in excel.
Thanks!
Instead of removing, I would suggest you to hide them. As the creating new sort list will require you to create a new calculated column which again would create a same scenario.

Yes: Load that table as it is to the data model. Then in the data-view, check your work-flow column and go to Modeling -> Sort By Column and choose the number column to sort by. That way you don't have to show the sort-column in your reports.

Hi ImkeF
Seems like we both misunderstood his question. I just realised that I think he would like to remove the numbers (1,2,3....)in front of every rows. I think, he can split and remove those numbers and then he should either create an Index column or concatenate two columns to create a custom sort order.

Hi BhaveshPatel,
yes, I agree.
