Sorting problem when using parameter fields

rpinxt_1-1664980042415.png

So I have a matrix that show my top 5.

Now I first only had Qty in and sorted it from high to low (so the biggest number on top).

 

A good idea seemed to make field parameter so I could switch between Quantity and USD.

So that is what I did.

And it works fine when I choose Qty I get Qty and for USD it shows USD.

 

However it will not sort anymore from highest to lowest because I switch between Qtd and Value.

Does anybody know a way around this?
