Sort table/matrix by both row total and column total
Hi guys,
Is it possible to sort a table or matrix by both row total and column total?
As you can see, the above matrix only sort the matrix by row total and not column total. I've seen some solution which including adding a rank column, I don't think that it will work when I add a slicer to filter the table/matrix. I've also found a post stating that it is not a function in Power BI, so I am just making sure if it can be done or not.
If you have any solution to make this work please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Anonymous , Row you can only sort on Total values on measures or Row (pivot0 column.
For column (Pivot) you need to use order by column

Hi Anonymous ,
To my knowledge, no perfect way to sort the column total in Matrix visual.
You can create custom sorting for the column fields in the matrix, such as creating a column, calculating the sum of each fruit, and then sorting the fruit. However, after some slicers are applied, the total changes at any time, and the sorting does not change dynamically.
