Sorting by Particular Column in a hierarchy

Hi,

I have this Actual Revenue & Expenses Matrix table.

I want the Hierarchy to be in this Order (Image !), but I want the GL/Source Summary Account Title fiels to be sorted in particular Order.

I tried creating a conditional column with GL/Source Account Summary ID & sorted the GL/Source title column by the ID column.

But it doesn't work.

 

I will really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks!!

HI, @Anonymous 

Add an index column for GL/Source Summary Account Title in Edit Queries.

For example:

14.JPG

 

Then set sort by column

12.JPG13.JPG

Result:

15.JPG

Best Regards,

Lin

Try sort the column in the database itself, Did you try that ?

 

seems like you did everything right, but you might probably forgot to do following:

 

on the visual itself, => choose more options => choose Sorty By => choose GL/Source Summary Account Title.

 

Below is the example. Once you do it, it should resort it in your desired order.

I did that too...:(

Thank you @bogomda !!

@Anonymous can you confirm and make sure you sorted your ("GL/Source SUmmary Account Title" by "Account SUmmary Id" in model tab using "sort by column"

 

Can you send the screen shot if you did it?
