Matrix Reverse Sort and Total on Left

I think it would be extremely useful for many organizations that focus on totals as well as most recent values to reverse the sort of the matrix where Newest is on the left as well as having the totals column on the left. I understand you can work around the sort order by adding columns and changing the sort by, but it should be a feature built in to the application. And currently there is no work around to get the totals on the left, leaving anyone who needs a high level analysis forced to either make cards and use space, or slide the bar on the matrix to the right to view totals.
