Multi Sort Matrix

‎11-25-2020 06:30 AM

Hello, i have a matrix setup with three row values and multiple value columns. How can i sort by two columns? I would like to sort the first row value in ASC order and the first value in ASC order. 

 

Is this possible? I have tried converting into a table, sorting it, then converting back but this does not work.

@themistoklis the second value i would like to sortby is a date. I dont think the measure would work for that. What do you think?
