Sorting in a matrix SSRS

Question

I try to sort the machine number ascending. If I took out the Prduct description then the machines are sorted ascending. I would like to show the Product description for every machine and I would like to show the machines sorted(M101,M102,M103...)

where Date BETWEEN @StartDateTime AND @EndDateTime
    and Name in ('M101','M102','M103','M104','M105','M106','M107','M108','M109','M110', 'M111') 
    group by Date, Name, ProductName

    ) as s

order by Name asc

It should look like this here:

Answer 1

I have try these 2 solution

first use case when in ORDER BY clause like this

ORDER BY CASE 
        WHEN name = 'M101' THEN 1 
        WHEN name = 'M102' THEN 2
    END 

It's not best solution but it's can solved your problem and second solution is use substring in order by clause like this

ORDER BY CAST(SUBSTRING(name,2,10) AS INT)

And if you use Column group for dynamic expand column don't forget delete delete sorting condition. Hope it's help
