Hi all, I have a matrix table that has a list of timestamps as the columns (see below)... I want to be able to have the most recent timestamp show first (left most) and then progress (right) in a descending order (the timestamps also can repeat)... I have tried multiple different solutions with index columns and then selecting that to sort the timestamp column but I have not had any luck... Any help would be appreicated.

Index column is going in the right direction. However, you need to reverse its order. Say you have 10000 rows, then use 10001 -[Index] as your "sort by" column.
