You are looking for Sub Category wise sort within each category
Please create a lookup table with the below format
SubCategory | SortBy |
A | 1 |
B | 2 |
C | 3 |
D | 4 |
Click on Sub Category column and change Sort to SortBy Column
Now Create a relationship with the main table and with SubCategory column
Use SubCategory from the lookup table
