Matrix Sort Column

Hello Everyone, 

 

I'm facing the follow issue and I don't know how to work around.

 

I've the following data:

 

DateItemPrice
01/01/2021Car20
01/01/2021Bike10
01/01/2021Plain5
02/02/2021Car

20

02/02/2021Plain5
02/02/2021Bike10
03/03/2021Bike30
03/03/2021Bike10

 

I've used a Matrix Table, but I've tried to sort the column Item with Price but I receive the message saying "You have more than 1 result to the Item".

 

Using the Matrix, the columns are sorted by alphabetic:

 

DateCarBikePlain
01/01/202120105
02/02/202120105
03/03/2021 40 
Total406010

 

My idea is sort the Matrix Column Headers by Total Column, like this:

 

DateBikeCarPlain
01/01/202110205
02/02/202110205
03/03/202140  
Total604010

 

And if I filtered for 02/02/2021 the order columns have to change like this:

DateCarBikePlain
02/02/202120105
Total201010

 

I believe someone here in comunnity have dealed with something like this.

 

Best Regard's

Hi @HugoJesus ,

Now it is not support to sort by changing the original data size in Matrix. If you really need the function, Please create the idea and vote for it.
