Sorting
You have to create a Sort By column. For example, if you have a file with Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, it will not sort by month date, but alphabetically, so Apr, Feb, Jan, Mar. Useless. You want Jan to sort by 1, Feb by 2, Mar, by 3, etc.
So create a column in your data set that has the desired sort you want. You have to create the column. You cannot sort your data and expect that to work. It won't.
Then use the Sort By Columns functionality. See this article for details.
Hi rrhascall ,
The viusal will sort by the columns in visual, so if you want to sort visual by specific in dataset, you need to set sort by in model like below
Then whe you use name column in visual, which will sort it by sort column.

The sort column is already in my dataset. It is a numerical value and it is how I would like the data to be sorted. The visual I have created is ignoring this and only allows me to sort by the fields included in the visual. This is what I'm trying to resolve.
Hello,
Have you already sorted your category column by your sort column? If so and the visual still ignores this sort, what visual are you using?
The Matrix visual lacks functionality. There are lots of ideas on the community site. Below are the front runners. Please vote these up!
