Powerbi matrix choose which column to freeze

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for a way to select which column is frozen using the matrix visualisation.  From what I can see, it is only possible to freeze the first column. 

Also I would like to include several fixed columns after the frozen pane but cannot find an efficient way to do this.  I have been setting up the column I want frozen as a "row", then adding the columns I want to appear after the freeze pane as "values".  Any dynamic columns I then add as parameters using measures (so that the column headers are dynamic).  Works when I have a small data set, but my client has just requested I increase the number of columns from 5 to 20 which kills performance.

@bhalicki  I am afraid to say that as of now no option to freeze the columns except those available in Row section.
