Stacked Column Chart sort

Hi All, 

I am using a stacked column chart with two fields on the x axis. The first field forms 'buckets' for the x-axis and the second is the individual columns.

However, I want to sort by the count, but when i do this it sorts on individual count from the second field rather than total count from the first field, is there a way to keep the categories from the first field intact just sorted by total count?

Thanks

@jdavison , Not when you use it as a second column, but if you use that as legend then you can do that using Column -> Layout -> Sort by Value
