Pivot /Matrix table sorting

Hi community,

 

I have a pivot/matrix table that gives me the following table:

 

Debtors100
Prepayments80
Creditors-20
Accruals-60

 

I want to sort it by absolute size but first by positives then by negatives, to give the following:

 

Debtors100
Prepayments80
Accruals-60
Creditors-20

 

Is there any way to achieve this?

 

Thanks

You may add calculated columns and then sort by the calculated columns.
Column = IF('Table'[Column2]>0,1,0)
Column_test = IF('Table'[Column]=0,'Table'[Column2]*-1,'Table'[Column2])

@analysiswithtec I guess these values are measures?
