Sort matrix chart by the values of the column passed as a Column

Hello!

 

Is possible to sort a matrix chart by the values of the column passed as a Column (Date)?

 

When I try this, the option to sort by variable doesn't appear, only appear basic sort descending or ascending (default by Value), but not by variable:

@Anonymous , If variable means measure no.

If variable means another column, yes. You can sort data on another column and the date will show that sort
