Hello,
I need some help, with sorting in the MATRIX table and hierarchy.
I am out of IDEAS.
So the thing is I need different order, TOP level should be sorted by TOTAL(sum till date slicer selected).
Second Level by Alphabetical, and the third by date or same as the second level. Alphabetical.
I urgently need help! Please, someone! I will remember you by the end of time and I will put you into the Hall Of Fame
It would be best if you create a key table defining logical ordering and a relationship with the original column, then perform sorting of the table with key values scale (Sunday 1, Monday 2....)

In the matrix click the column header that you want to sort first. Then hold SHIFT and click other columns to sort by those. When you publish the report to the PBI Service/website the sort will be saved, but I believe users can still change the sort if they also click the column headers.
This works for table but not for matrix 😞
@ModernHand , one you sort the first-row column, all other columns will follow the same. The way control is sort column. Create a sort column for your requirement. How to Create Sort Column and Solve Related Errors:
