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.

RE: Matrix - Sort columns by value

You would think to be able to sort by any columns in a matrix table is a fundamental functionality! Otherwise what's the point in taking the advantage of a matrix visual!

Requested over 3 years ago. Can Microsoft at least tell us if this basic functionality is in the funnel to be implemented?

RE: Matrix - Sort columns by value

a matrix with dates as a column - looks really weird when you sort and the dates dont sort properly - this really needs to work - or take the sort option off the columns you cant sort by

Sorting columns in matrices by values is kind of essential.
