Matrix - Sort columns by value

[aotto]

Matrix currently doesn't allow you to sort the columns based on designating values as being a priority above the column field names. For example, my field in the columns section results in three columns. If you add two sets of values, you are forced to see: Column 1, Value 1, Value 2, Column 2, Value 1, Value 2, etc. Like in a Pivot Table, you should be able to prioritize values so that it shows as: Column 1, Column 2, Column 3, Value 1, Column 1, Column 2, Column 3, Value 2.

Such a basic feature not supported?? It is supported in Excel PivotTable. Also, this idea is 3 years old; surprised to see it hasn't got thousands of votes !

This idea would make the calculation groups even more useful. Calculation groups could then be used to let the user control which measurs/calculation items to show in matrix visual-columns (through a slicer). However, as long as the user cannot choose which of the measures/calculation items to sort the table by, unfortunately the value in many cases becomes quite limited.

A recent user of Power BI ( previously extensive PowerPivot user) and could not believe that this basic functionality was not there. Please add it soon.

Much needed! The ability to custom sort using a field would be very helpful!
