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
in AppSource, the "Zebra Tables 6.6" has this feature, to bad it is not free... and that visual is lacking other good features, like conditionally formatting the color of values for example (as of today at least).
RE: Matrix - Sort columns by value
We really need all matrix columns to be sortable when the values are based on one field, as they are in a table or in a matrix where every column is based on a separate value field. Tables are difficult to work with in other ways (e.g. you'd need to add a measure for every column instead of just one for all columns), so we can't use those.

This is such a basic gap in this experience I'm surprised it's still not closed.

Scheduled Refresh -Time
We are able to select Time, for example, 9:00AM or 9:30 AM or 10:00 am or 10:30 am and so on for 48 times in a day.
However If we can have option to choose 9:15 am and 9:45 am and 10:15 am and 10:45 am, It would have been better. we are fine with 48 times in day.

Could you please make this happen or maybe come up with the new Matrix visual itself?

It's 2023... is this still not an option?
RE: Matrix - Sort columns by value
needed when crossfiltering between tables and matrix. matrix provides one vision and the detail is in the tables.
RE: Matrix - Sort columns by value
Many of our visuals are done by value then year in the matrix form and this is not possible in Power BI without messing with the tables. We've been instructed to switch from Tableau to Power BI, but without this simple item, it won't be happening.
Instead of:
2021 2022
Market Revenue Company Revenue Share % Market Revenue Company Revenue Share %
We need:
Market Revenue Company Revenue Share %
2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022
RE: Matrix - Sort columns by value
Perhaps I am missing the point, but doesnt the menu on the top right of the visual allow for a Sort By on any of the Values columns?
