Sort Matrix Values according to Column

I am trying to sort the "Transient Details" column by the "SortOrder" column values but the matrix keeps aggregating the "SortOrder" column preventing the correct order. How do i fix this?

The table view shows the correct order as shown below.

But, the matrix visual continues to aggregate even when i change the "SortOrder" column to numbers or text.

Hi,

 

To change the sort order you'll have to select the table you want to sort.

Then click the below button and select your Sort column.

 

This should do the trick.

The sorting you do in the table is just for informational puposes.

The sort order is correct in table view, but not in the matrix visual.

Do you know how to make the sort order applicable to the matrix?
