Sort Matrix

Hello, 

 

I am trying to sort the product column in my matrix by my custom sort. I designated the columns by numbers to allow for sorting but for some reason it will not adjust in my visual. I also designatted my sort by column to be order. Please advise.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Have you specify the [Order] field as the "Sort by" column for [Product]?

If you have done above setting while it still doesn't work, please click the three dots on Matrix, and choose sort by [Product] for a test.
