Problem with Sorting

I have this matrix view.

For sizes for clothing going across, how can I sort the sizes like  S, M ,L....till 5 XL...then...8,10,12,14 etc

Hi @learner03 

You can add a calculated column in your table :
SortOrder = IF(Table[Size]="S",1, IF(Table[Size]="M",2,.............................IF(Table[Size]="5 XL",10,Table[Size]+10))))))
And then you sort you column size by this new column

Check that your SortOrder column has for type "Whole number" :
