I have a matrix visual where I have the date in the columns. Is there a way I can sort descending so I have the most recent dates on the left vs. having to scroll (July should show on left first). I tried to go to the data tab and use the "Sort by" but the visual does not change. Any help is appreciated. See picture.

@jcastr02 , For that you have create a column with Desc Sort
Date1 = [Date]
Date sort = rankx('Date',[Date],,desc,dense)
Mark Rank Sort as Sort column of Date1 and use date 1 in visual
