Sort value in matrix table issue

Hi everyone,

 

I have a metrix table as per below and I want to sort the value in descending order based on Feb 15 data

However it seems PowerBI by default sort the value based on the last column which is March 15 in this example

 

Anyone has the same issues? here is the sample file. Thanks for your advice.

It is a pivoted matrix on the date. As of now, you can only sort on the total. This sorted on the total column, not march.

In the visualization, click the Feb 15 column to sort by it.
