Sorting Matrix by rows

Hello, 

I have a matrix table with 4 rows fully expanded to look like a table. I would like to be able to sort independently the four rows. There is a way? Otherwise someone could suggest my a way to have a visualization like that using the "Table" visual?

Matrix row sorting is from the outside in, from the higher level of the hierarchy to the lower.

 

Allow your users to "Personalize Visuals"  so they can rearrange (and re-sort) the matrix row fields.

I'm sorry, but this is not what I need. I need to be able to sort the rows. The rows of the matrix correspond to "entity code", "BVD Id", "entity name" and "country"

Can you show the desired result?

Thank you for the suggestion. But there is a way to have instead a Table with the same visual like the matrix that I have shared?

 

you would need to create individual measures by year.  Not really something I would want to recommend.

have you an example or a reference for this?
