Matrix Column sorting

Hey guys, so I know in a matrix that you can sort value columns when nothing in in "columns" like below:

What if there is something in "columns" such as Country. I still want to sort the table rows by the "Client $ Spend" column. Or even sort the country columns by the highest client $ spend total.

Thoughts?

 

Thanks

@jhdavis,

 

Alternatively, select Unpivot Columns, Merge Columns and Pivot Column in Query Editor in turn. You may also vote this idea up.

I agree those fix the current visual. But I am trying to make this a dynamic dashboard that pulls off an SSAS cube, so it just knows to sort by that column always, no matter the data loaded. I did vote up that idea because that's exactly what I mean, being able to sort by rows (after the update comes out for listing values in rows instead of columns).

only thing i can think of bring country to row level and use inline drill down to next level and sort by Cost $ Spend. Turn off step layout.
