How to sort a matrix chart by columns

Hello, 

 

I would like to sort the columns by date in descending order, for example: 202503, 202502, 202501 (most recent first).

However, only rows and values appear as available sorting options.

Is there a way to sort by column?

You can sort this in the Matrix visual by adding a Custom Sort column - See the tutorial below.

Hello @Lora9999 

 

You can sort by row and value, column sorting is not available may be you have to use another Matrix visual from appsource.
